Exclamation 19's and L-Tuned?

When I get the 19's for my GS, will the L-Tuned Suspension be enough to get rid of the gap in the wheel well?? I'm trying to figure out the best spring/shock combo to remove any wheel or most of the wheel well gap using spring/shocks.

Yes...I'm at about 1 finger gap. L-tuned is a must for anyone on this site.

L-tuned only drops an inch and if you want the gap completely gone, you may choose other suspension.

with the right wheel/tire combo you can get rid of the gap. I have 18's on my car with the L-tuned setup and I have about a finger width between my tire and the top of the well front and back

i have the tanabe super sustec down springs (2 inch drop) and bilstein shocks.

go to the recent CT meet and look @ pics of my black GS w/ 19 inch AT Italia Riva Wheels and the Lsportline Grill (Black).

I have almost no whell gap and always get compliments on the car and the wheels.

looks really good. people literally will stop me on the road and give compliements.

also the H&R springs are good.

the miglias are beautiful wheels, i'm not surprised.

miglia setup = $2,200

at italia w/o discount = $3,100

mine are the ones closes w/ the rivets, a 2 piece wheel and xsuperjoex's car is the one further out w/ the miglias and the greddy gracer front lip.

xsuperjoex:

give me a call later. i'm off from school for 3 weeks. lets get together and chill. maybe after christmas, what do you think?

peace,

ted
