coilovers that can achieve easy 1 finger gap-HELP
so i'm looking to get coilovers since my current setup drop (espelir springs/bilstein hd's) left me disappointed. my friend is on same springs, on kyb's, on 18's and he's got tight 2 finger gap all around. cant figure it out-we thought i should be a 1 finger gap on 19's...bad math? i've searched and read and read the threads. can you please let me know how low the following coilovers can go on 19's:
1. tein cs
2. tein flex
3. bilstein pss
4. any others??? (suggestions)
i believe the cost is about the same (within $100 +/-) of each other. i know the bilstein warranty is great vs the tein you have to pay for rework. i'm trying to achieve at least a 1 finger gap, no greater (if a coilover's lowest is a 1.5+ finger gap on 19's, then i'd rule it out). lastly, comments with pics would be greatly appreciated all. thanks.
lastly, regarding the ride comfort, i'm on bilstein hd's and enjoy it. anything harsher maybe not.

thanks guys for the input. overall, i want a really nice tight 1 finger/.75 inch gap all around. will the tein cs or bisltein pss give this stance?
(bighitbike-you mentioned the pss will 'barely' get 1 finger in front, do you have any pics? also, how low can the rears go on pss?)

I have the RS model D2 racing coilovers. As for the spring rates, it's custom spec. for my setup. The fronts are 12kg, and rears are 9kg. The valving rate is custom also. As far as pics, I'll try to get some this weekend when I could find a place to wash my car since we have a water restriction where I live now.
