How much wheel gap with 1.8" drop and 16's?

@DaKyu

wow, the gap difference between a 1.4" and 1.8" look quite significant. I am looking for a 1-2 finger gap(it must be more than 1 finger but no bigger than 2). The 1.4 on those Eibachs seem a little to high for me still. So should I go for h&r sport rather than race? I am also getting a lip kit on soon with my 17"s if that helps.

Just to give you some reference on the 1.4 springs… the front is 3 fingers and the rear is 3 fingers with an empty tank or empty trunk. Rear is 2 fingers when full. Now some fingers will vary in size, and my springs are over 6 years old. I hope to get coilovers soon.

How often do you drive your teg and where?

I decided to go with the sports for the softer spring rates, Ill be installing a lip kit and side skirts as well.

I drive my car all the time between chicago and Purdue. Where in IN are you from? i guess I may go with the H&R sports. The race version may still be too low, so hopefully I’ll get my 2 finger gap or so with the 1.8.

yes i’m hoping for the same thing bro, i dont’ want it to be too big of a wheel gap, i’m hoping 1.8" will do the trick, cuz i had 1.5" drop with my g1teg and it looked ok.

My post is ~3 down or so. There’s a few pics of the gap on 16" rotas, 205/45 ES100, and on prokits. (How it should have come stock… ;)) :manual:

what color are your Rota’s in that post?

Im from Dyer, about 15 minutes south of Hammond Purdue Calumet(im assuming this is where you commute to).

I do have an extra set of Neuspeed Race springs for sale but I would probably reccomend you go with the sports…softer spring rates are gonna be much more comfortable with all the shitty potholes on I94.

I have a set of sports that im pairing with my konis but still havent installed them cuz Im waiting for brakeline brackets from a local G2 owner.

“steel grey” – IIRC… I got 'em last year from www.machiii.net with ES100’s mounted by them. I think the mount/balance could have been better though… (off-topic…)

The color is awesome - turned out better than I had hoped! Hides brake dust well.

Wraith: I have the same rims as you:

WRAITH: The first one is pre-digital camera and less tint. Konig GT-R 16x7 w/ Pirelli P7000 205/45/16. These are the summer rubber.

These are also 16’s…

I am really tired of these rims but I think they look nice on your car. I think the main reason I don’t like them is my ride height. For kicks I thought about painting these and did a photoshop:
