I have a 93 ES with newly installed 18 inch wheels. The back of the car looks good. But I really need to lower the front-end because the gap between the tire and the wheel is just to much it doesn't look right. I am looking to lower my car with out losing ride quality.
Can someone recommend what to do? or what to buy?
Thanks

Kinda hard to lower the car without a slight decrease in ride quality. Actually, I think the rims degrade the ride more than the lowering.

Anyway, try getting some drop springs... I have Intrax springs and they drop 1.6". You can also try Eibach springs, but they only go down 1". While you're at it, you might want to change your shocks, Tokico or KYB... Intrax springs: tmengineering.net, Eibach springs: tirerack.com, Tokico shocks: Ebay

Springs are like $250 on tirerack I think, I would also go ebay on them for $50 less.

Yeah, drop it with some shocks/springs to complete the look

but if you drop the whole car 1.0 or 1.6" arent you still gonna have a larger gap up front?

it will still have a gap but not a large one......thats probably what he is looking for if he is happy with the rear look....

definitley a intrax 1.6 or the eiback/H&R 1.0 to complete the look

The gap will never go away unless you get coilovers or cut the springs.
