Default Drop on 20" Question

i was wondering, if i was riding on 20x8.5f 20x10r, what type of suspension would give me about a half finger gap in front and no gap in rear? About how low of a drop would that be? What springs can give me this height w/o resorting to coilovers?

the gap on this car is achieved by the Eibach/Bilstein combo.

the inside joke is that futuregs and a few others are really good at photoshop(imaging software) and alter pictures for a rough idea of how things look, being a lowered car in this instance

yeah lol I like to bust GSTRANCE's chops sometimes cuz he does alot of photoshop work with cars and usually drops them an unbelievable amount. So it is an inside thing, apparently he's gettin a little upset about it. =]

GSonDubs - No spring/shock combo in stock form will give you that low of ride. Period. Just get coilovers....I have the EXACT drop you asked for on my GS using Tein FLEX coilovers (with plenty of lowering to spare...I could lower it another 3" if I wanted to (of course, I doubt I'd be able to get out of my driveway.)

This is an Lsportline suspension with 20' Works. If your looking for a lower set up then you gotta go with coilovers like Teins.

hey that's awesome right man. do you happen to have close up pics on both the front and rear wheel gap? or do you have dimensions on how much are the gaps? i wanna know how 20 holds up with l-tuned setup
