Eibach springs

Is the eiback sport line going to lower my car enough to be satisfied with the tire to fender clearance. I mean I don't want hella flush but I do want lowered enough to where with a 5mm spacer it looks pretty good yet ethical.

Some pics and brands would be nice help

With sportlines you will have a 2-3 finger gap between your fender and top of the tire all the way around. Probably 2 fingers in front and 3 in back. If you want it to look good with spacers get coil overs. Sportlines ride like crap anyways. Pogo stick.

EDIT: the finger gap also depends on what size rims and tires and everything you have. I have 18's and this is an estimate based off of that!

cm/ssc have a very nice ride. I've been suggesting them to people ever since I rode in a car with them lol. I think theyre pretty much the same drop as sportlines too. maybe a little less but still look good
