It should eliminate half of that wheel gap that you currently have

How much thicker are your rear sidewalls than your front. The Gap in the rear doesn't look too bad at all. That could also be because your car is on a slight incline, though. Also, Vishuz I cannot see your picture.

I'm sure your car would look very good with DF210s. Especially since they drop the front a bit more so than the rear. Since your car has a larger amount of wheel gap in the front it would even the gap out.

Good luck on your drop!

I have the Nf210s which is less of a drop than the DF210's.It gave me a two finger gap up front and 1 finger in the rear. The ride is very close to stock. I have 17" rims as well

I agree with Ryan. Springs will not slam your car like that. I am in the process of lowering my GS on Tuesday. I just received my Megan springs on Friday. I was told that these springs drop the Front 2 inches and it also drops the rear 2 inches. I haven't found anyone on CL with there GS lowered on these springs. I plan to do a Full review so that other members can get a heads up about the springs before they buy them. As of right now my wheel specs are 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10 rears. Front finger gap is about 4 fingers. I hate it...... So be on the look out for my review.
