2 finger gap..

just got my wheels, and i'm looking for a 2 finger drop, but unsure of what to get. I have 215/40/18's with no drop at the moment. Anyone know what would give me that 1 - 2 finger gap that I'm looking for?

H&R sport will give you that 2 finger gap your looking for.
Goldlines IMO are just too soft. soft springs with a 1 finger gap don't go well together..
i would have to say neuspeed sports, give a 1 finger gap all around. not low at all. people can hardly tell my car is dropped. click below for more pics, i have the same size tires as you 215-40-18

the first 6 months was koo, it road pretty nice... ya it wasn't as comfortable on badd road but it wasn't too bad. but what do you expect when dropping your car on stock shocks...
now after 9 months with my 18s on, its kinda harsh.. i think my shocks are starting to go. i drive my car pretty hard tho.
i dont really have yo worry about scraping or anything.. (still way too high IMO)
i would say expect to replace your shocks after a year or so..

Vn ,I have the goldlines comin with the same size tires as you with RS-6's, do you think the goldlines being soft would make them rub ?

eh it might if you have 5 people in the car... someone here(rider) had a xenon kit and anytime he had people in the back the sideskirts would literally touch the ground. not sure what tires he had tho.. for the most part you should be fine but if your not dont look at me cause i always say go with neuspeed sports

who have you talked to? i know dizzle doesnt like neuspeed..
eibach are some great springs BUT they cost too much. $180 for some springs, rather save $50 and get neuspeeds which are just as good if not better... i'm sure you'll be happy with either one, i know i was happier with neuspeeds knowing i saved $50 tho. these are just temporary anyways, plan on getting the h&r cup kit or a true coilover setup
