How low can you go.....

[MJG]

I was wondering does anyone know how low can you go with the stock wheel set up on a MSP. Springs that is or which spring can i use to lower it without rubbing. I want to keep it looking stock as possible and just get rid of the gap.. THANX

Um, your post is very contradictory. First of all, if you want it to look as "stock as possible," to just lower it enough to get rid of the gap, why would you start off asking how low you can go?

To (sort of) answer your question, just lowering your car doesn't (generally) make it rub. Having wheels/tires that are too wide or too low or high of offset can cause it to rub. You should have nothing to worry about with the stock MSP wheel & tire setup.

As to which spring you should use, MSP owners have had problems with the rear struts not allowing the rear to settle much (if at all) with aftermarket springs. Someone else help MJG with this...

Thanks Nate, I basically just want to get rid of the wheel gap ,and keep the stock wheel and tire. Sorry for confusion...

search for TEIN springs

 

[MJG]

Mark, you think Tein's will work....I have looked at every spring there is and I just was making sure with anyone who has done this and been successful.

there have been a lot of pics posted so just do a search and you should see some responses. i dont have them, but a lot of people do.

i would go with the eibach pro kit because its not a very big drop and should fill the gap well. the springs will also give you a good ride unlike cheap springs which become soft and sag over time. good luck!
