Need recommendations on what springs to buy!
I just had my 19" put on my car and I definately need to lower my C32. Anyone have any spring recommendations, how much I should pay for them\installation and where to buy? (online or in San Francisco) The rear looks fine, but the front is way to high. It has about 3 finger gap. I'll post pics of the rims as soon as I get my digital camera back. Thanks!

FrankW,
Your pic kinda show the front still elevated more. Is this the case? The main reason why I want to drop my car to reduce the front gap in the wheel well. The rear looks fine. What was the price of the renntechs and what was the proposed drop for the front and rear? Thanks!

The renntechs will probably be the lowest ride height for just springs. Either that or H&R which are similar in height. The picture of franks car is with 18s. Your car with 19s should have a smaller gap. I sell the renntech springs, but renntech has been sold out of these for a quite a while. I have several on back order. The time frame they give me is 2 weeks to 3 months!

We've had great results with the new Vogtland Sport springs. A mild drop with great increase in performance.

You can't go wrong with any of the aftermarket springs. Realizing that they are just springs and there will be very little improvement in handling, just a slight increase in ride stiffness. The major benefit is that they are cheap and close that ugly gap in the front fender.
