Re: what to lower car to 1 finger or less gap.
i dont think im going to want to waste a set of brand new S techs + installation + alignment costs...
btw, Dex, what kind of springs do you have and tire/wheel size.
I'm kinda obsessed with this because I saw fast and furious too much and I always see ricer cars with no gaps and it makes me mad that my car is supposed to be cool too but yet theres still 2 fingers. It's not that bad from up close but far away... i have serious mental problems hahaha.
i'm not worried about the weight problem, btw I've never driven anyone in the back since installation of the springs 3 weeks ago. Should I just drive with something in the back, water or something to help settle the springs? or does it settle by itself?

what!! im serious man! i wouldnt waste your time! but hey I think it might be my tires. Most of the people I've seen with S techs have big tires that fillthe gap. I'm afraid if I get any bigger tires it might rub. Thanks for your replies though I appreciate it dearly. and btw, dex do you have a 2 finger gap all around? I can't tell from the pic. thanks
