Need Coilovers to get the look I Want?

1" fender to trim is gonna ride like ****. You could get $3000coilovers and 20" wheels 30series rubber and 2-2.5" drop tucking tire is still gonna ride like ****. not to mention to go that low you will also need adjustable arms to get the camber and toe close to back to stock numbers. You will need to except a poor ride, poor tire life, and problems if you are gonna hellaflush it. I have another word for it but it isn't crazy. Also you're budget for this is no where near realistic, 20" rims and tires even cheap ones are going to be a minimum of 2500, megan coils will get you that low for $800-900 but you are going to need $700-800 in arms to get it into alignment. Also that low you will be lucky to get it close to handling as well as it does stock so kiss your' autox times goodbye. Hella flush is all look, no comfort or performance.

Sounds about right, I plan on building the car later on in its life. So for now I think springs and struts are the way to go. I do want some gap between the outside of tire and fender. Thanks for the input guys. Definitely don't want my car to ride like crap just to look good. So thanks for that advice

1slow370. The truth hurts but I had to hear it from somebody. Thanks again
