Well I love the drop look on flash13brandon car. Which springs would you guys say to get? The H&R Sport springs, and where to get them at or K Sport springs?

i like my sportlines for the ride quality and assurance that if they screw up ill be taken care of. And knowing that they dont casue problems.
So far drop wise with just springs, I think the H&R's look the best. But you gotta remember, the lower you drop it the quicker your struts will hate your guts. and i cant believe a set of Koni's is like 600 bucks. throw some thicker tires on it and itll fill in that wheel gap too

You should add to this thread measurements. The three best I can think of are from the ground
1: to the center of the wheel
2: to the top most point of the fender well
3: the gap from the tire to the top of the fender well.
Front & rear.
I have a 08 lt with 16" wheels.
Front
1: 11 3/4"
2: 26 1/2"
3: 2 3/8"
Rear
1: 12"
2: 28"
3: 3 3/4"
After searching for endless hours I think this is the best way to end all the bitching about what does what better. I really want facts instead of " mine's lower thatn that" & "They suck because I didn't buy them" type stuff. If enough people do this we can average it out and help everyone be more informed.
Forgot to add I have stock springs & struts.

Haz l33t wheelz.
i know, i know, ****.
when the 19s go on, it get dropped as far as it goes.
I will tuck all 4.
well, the wheel tire combo is about 25.5" i'd say the fender is at 25.75 or slightly higher.
