Question Coilover questions.

I'm currently on sportlines with Fe5 suspension blah blah....been considering coilovers. I just basically wanna close my wheel gap a little more. I drive a 2.2 automatic and wondering how low I can even go since they dont make steering rack spacer for the autos. What problems will I experience? should I just stay on my set up since this car is my DD summer/Winter. -

-Thanks

i'm also a 2.2 auto and im on coilovers. the main problem i have right now is the shaking at slower speeds which is just the axle angles. and of course scraping everywhere. if its a dd and winter car u could get coils and just not go that low

Yea I thought about that to like raise it in the winter, lower it in the summer. The winters around here get pretty bad. Im also worried about axles...

Ok, I just want there to be no gap i guess. H&R springs look nice for just being springs.
