Gomez;

Dont expect too much on H & R...they will lower your car up 1.25 inch only, if you want more, get someone to cut it but not with a torch...it will screw up the spring

It seems that there are alot of variations on how low any given sping set will work on your car. H&R are supposed to lower the most, but Ive seen some eibachs that look like they lower more, and Ive seen some that dont even look like they changed springs. Luckily mine lowered alot.

.........what pads are you using? you can go from tucked to not lowered at all by changing the thickness of your pads.

Well when you first install the new springs... It will take a while for the car to settle down about another 1/4 of an inch. how about pictures? Is there a large gap between the wheel well and the tire?
