what springs should i get?

i recently got a set of 18x7 wheels with a offset of 40. my tires size is 205/40/18, and now im looking to lower. not a whole lot but just enough to make the wheels look nice and not stick out like they do now.

my questions to everyone is.. what springs do everyones recommend? i see a lot of brands here on NAM..

so i was wondering if i could get some suggestions on what to use for my specific wheels size.

I need your Help

Thanks everyone

Actually, if you are looking at springs fro a R50/53, I would def. recommend TSW.

$199 a set
Linear springs.

Should be OK

Your wheels have less offset than stock. So the tires will be 12mm or 0.5" farther to the outside of the wheel well.

Your drop from TSW should not be too severe so low risk for rubbing unless you are really loaded down with more cargo or heavy people.
