2013 JCW Suspension

Hey guys...not an expert on cars here but I do love my Skillet. Thinking about suspension...more to lower and get rid of wheel gap. Would lowering springs suffice, or would you guys recommend a whole coil over overhaul? Thanks for the replies.

if you just need to lower the car, springs will do

I used NM springs to reduce my wheel gap, which did what I wanted.

I also used the mach v springs with rota rb wheels from fast mini net .great deal and good people to do business with. I also used 12.5 spacers in front and run 235/40/17 rubber. Only problem is that my wheel gap disappeared and the car has a nice ride.
