I got the megan ez there cheap and you could adjust them but honestly you will lose ride quality if you dont want to go low then just get springs they have fsport too thell only lower .5-1 inch

Just like he ^ stated above. To get rid of the wheel gap I'd just go with springs.

Megan LP is what I used to have. Spring rate 12/8 a little stiffer than EZ and I like it. If you plan to go more low in the future you will need stiffer ride to avoid the rubbing issue

The problem is that the Fsport springs wont get rid of much wheel gap. You wont notice that small of a drop and its not worth the money.


Any coilover setup will be fine for your needs OP.

Megan EZs are one of the cheapest sets and get the job done. If you want more ride adjustability than the EZs, then go with BC coils

Megan EZ's are great... the ride quality is just a little bit stiffer than stock, but hardly noticeable. I love mine. Also love the adjustability, allows you to perfectly fine tune your drop until you get it exactly how you want it. With springs, you are stuck with whatever you get out of the box... and often times springs look uneven to me which I hate.

The question should be what your budget is, because we can throw names or brands at you all day...but to find the best bang for your buck will depend on how deep your pockets are.

BC Racing coils are a solid choice. I've had 10/8 and 12/10 spring rates

Best answer so far

even though i was going to say get some BC's or Megans. cant really go wrong with either set. even though with the BC you can get custom spring rates

you can get sets of H&R lowering springs for near $200 new/shipped. i think i paid $215. that will get rid of your wheel gap and best bang for your buck. fsport springs don't drop enough to make it even worth the money.

The 12/10 is the spring rates. The higher the number the stiffer they will be. BC coils come with 10/8 spring rates. The lower you go and more aggressive the wheels you get the stiffer you want it. If you are planning on just a conservative drop I would just go with the Spring rates they originally come with.

that's the springs rates...as above said they come with 10/8 which is ok...but honestly i believe 12/10 is perfect especially if at some point you may throw on wheels...or maybe even have a good drop..it will still keep comfort...
