Lowering question
I just put some new rims on my car, now obviously the next step is to lower it.
I have noticed that with my fron wheels at least, the clearance between the top of my tire and the bottom cup thing that the springs sits in is pretty tight.
If I was to lower my car, would this clearance change or stay the same?
What about the back, are there any clearance concerns there, or any other ones on the front as well for that matter?

Rep Power: 0 The distance between the bottom spring 'cup' and the tire should remain the same. It will only change if you get taller tires. This is not the spot that will do the lowering. It is from the bottom of the 'cup' to the top part of the suspension mounting point that gets shorter, because of the shorter spring.
