Default Do you think a RCA kit will help me tuck?
I was test fitting my new wheels but am not really liking the gap in the front and was thinking maybe an RCA kit would help me tuck but 1 inch drop doesn't seem like that much to me. I have Megan Racing springs with KYB shocks. Do you guys suggest RCA to eliminate my wheels to fender gap or should I just save 3 or 4 more hundred and just get coilovers. Also does anybody have any pictures of their car with Megan springs and a RCA kit?

Any input is appreciated.

Here are my pics.

I hear the "Save your Money! Get coil-overs!" Stampede coming.

I am not sold of coil-overs myself due to reliability and parts availability reasons but they probably are your best choice since they can be adjusted to where you want them.

I vote get both. Front and rear RCAs to fix camber and Coil-overs to tuck.

How much do you want to tuck? From the looks of it, even 1" RCAs will probably close up the gaps, but that's about it.

What I meant was instead of paying $500 for RCA should I save more money and get Coilovers
