Max Drop on the HA's

I am planning to have my HA's installed tommorow and want to eliminate all wheel well gap. I currently have the stock 17's and until I can afford 19's or 20's, these are going to have to suffice for awhile.

Will the HA's hit the drop I need to terminate the gap? If so, will I suffer with a poor ride because of the intensity of the drop?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah, gap blows. Whether I have 17's - 19's, I can't handle the gap. I'm glad to hear that the HA's can get me where I need to be....

The HA's are on - looks great! I will post pics soon. It's dropped about 3" and the 17's look alot bigger now. Zero gap and the ride is actually pretty decent on the 5/5 setting. Big appearance improvement - much more aggressive stance. Driveways are interesting, I get a little *** rum now and then...good excuse for me to get new exshaust after I put a hole in my muffler in three months

Stay tuned for pics....TEIN rocks!

I will get the pics up Sunday so you guys can see. The camber is pretty noticeable, but since I am getting 19's in a few months I am not too worried about alignment. The car doesn't pull left or right and the steering wheel is straight. The only issue that I forsee having is some tire wear on the 17's. I will probably need to raise it up a bit once I get 19's so I can lose some of the camber and save on tire wear. The amazing thing is that even though the car is much lower, the ride is pretty damn good and I am running with the 5/5 setting...
