Wheel Gap BAD!

therefore i added H&R Springs
Before:



Now:





Thoughts: Its lower, but not retardedly lower. Its a much firmer ride but not a jarring ride and it does feel a helluva lot better in the bends. No rubbing on R90's with 215/40/17ZR tires, but i should be getting a set of LCA's soon :tu:!

It rides really nice also. I had some doubt about the ride quality but I am putting this at the top of my mod list.
