Rules of thumb has it that, in order to look good, your wheel gap must be narrower than your tire's side wall height. This is why you need to lower your car more on 20" wheel than 19" wheel.

everyone says that! it's been called a jeep too! but thats ok, i live in chicago and most the streets are messed up severely. so lowering it alot would make it un-driveable in the city.

ok i got the ride back! AND I LOVE IT!!!!! WORTH EVERY PENNY. the f-sport springs did exactly what i wanted done ( to close the gap) it did not rub or bottom out whatsoever, i did not have to re work the fender liners any further ( previously done). the f-sport exhaust is a really nice treat as well. thanks for the advice and im glad i did it. enjoy these after pics......... some angles look better than others, but there is only about a 1-1.5 inch gap if that. springs will take 2 weeks to settle , so will settle a bit lower.

p.s i feel that the ride quality is much better with the f-sport springs than stock. the ride feels more aggressive and sporty. no bumpy ride at all. im lovin it and just cant get over the fact that it lowered the gap more than i was expecting. thanks guys.

one last pic next day in light.
