that part didn't look like opinion, it looked like bad information. That's all he's trying to clarify, and you're getting butthurt.
OP: maybe check to make sure the rubber isolator on the spring perches is set correctly, with the little bit of driving you've done, it may not have been noticeable. I will say my stock-height looks like it has less gap (or equal gap, at the most) to your current setup.

Im sorry, but why would you every waste money on springs and struts? Just buy coilovers, there are multiple sets now that are only 100$ or so more then the strut and spring set ups and you get FULL ADJUSTABLE CONTROL. Springs and struts seems like a very foolish invest to me
I totally agree with this. Why spend $100 on shocks and springs when $200 will get you adjustability in both height and dampening? (the price was just made up to provide an example) I never understood this.

Food for thought. I'd rather run a reliable $650 Tokico HP/Tanabe combo for the time being, rather than an $800 coilover package that will probably have a leak or noisey tops within 5k miles. Most of the quality coilovers I've seen/experienced are $1k + (Stance, HKS, etc).
It'll be a never ending battle with everyones different wheel/tire combos and how their car sits.

regardless of how you said it, what I (as many others, apparently) read is "20's will reduce wheel gap, otherwise you need to go lower"

op: i apologize if my opinion was miss leading... to clarify, rather then getting small wheels with big tires to fill the gap, i would(actually i did) get 20 inch rims with watever size tire will fill the gap. just so u know, my car drives fantastic. otherwise i think ur car looks very clean at that heighht even with those wheels. i would trade u both my sc' for urs... lol

As to the cutting 1 of the dead coils off the top, That is something I thought of and imo it should be fine as it's a dead coil and not anything more so I may try this as a last resort and I have heard of people putting supra lowering springs on the front as it is supposed to be a direct fit however the rears are different spring pearches.
