springs to eliminate wheel fender gap?

I just wanted to know which springs I should buy so that my rear tires tuck into the rear fender wells but wont lower the front too extremely. Just to give it a nice look.Please give me some advice cause I have Eibach Pro-kit but dont like the way it looks.

It doesn't just depend on the springs you have. It also matters what size rims and tires you have.

Ive got gold line springs and and NO well gap. They say its a 1.75 drop but after mine settled it was lower than i had expected, more like 2 or more inches. Didnt effect the ride too much.
--and why dont you like your eibachs, those were my first choice but i got a good deal on the goldlines in a group buy.

Wouldn't it also depend on the size of the wheels and tires too?

In a group buy, we all get together and one of us approaches a retail seller and states that we'll all buy a product for him (all the same product) if he discounts the price for us. Kindof like a group discount at a restaurant.
