For ZERO wheel gap, you'll need coilovers.

Megan EZ street, works fine and won't break the budget.

I had H&R springs, but my shocks went so I put in Megan EZ street instead.

EZ megan coilovers are the way to go it won't break your budget , it will get you no wheel gap, they ride like stock suspension (I'm tucking on stocks) and great quality coils ( made by BC racing)

Get coilovers its a better choice for you. You can adjust height any time you want. Overall its a better way of doing it.

If you want just springs to achieve no wheel gap I can pretty much guarantee that you will never want to drive your car again. You will have such a high spring rate that you might as well put blocks of steel in there. Coilovers are your best solution and not that much more expensive.

Agree with the others that have posted above, if budget is an issue Megan EZs are the way to go...I had them on my IS for about 4-5 months and they rode nice and i was maxed out in the rears

oh and i think there is a whole thread in the suspension 2IS subforum with guys posting pics of their rides on H&R
