Lowering suggestions... (Pics) no 56K

I am looking for any suggestions on lowering my cav. I HATE the space between the tire and the wheel well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Coilovers would be your best bet because you can adjust to whatever height you want.

Jim Gravana has a group purchase going on his coils and think those would fit your needs perfectly. They are double adjustable, so you can drop the height down with out compressing your shock/struts too much (and they have adjustible shocks and struts).

You can read that and make your own informed decision. Take into consideration the quality of roads where you live, ride quality, performance etc. then make your decision.

You ocala boys just keep growing in numbers. I need to make it down to another meet sometime. BTW, Gravana didn't pay me to make my statement or anything. I'm not even signed up to buy them (UF ain't cheap).

You can start by getting proper sized tires. That'll help fill the wheel gap without costing you in suspension travel. Then you can decide how much you still need to lower.

I was just going to say that. You look like you don't have the proper tire size which first will make the wheel gap look bigger. If you are running 17's you should either have 215/45/17 or 225/45/17.

Spring will be fine for you. YOu could go with Eibach Sportlines and Koni or Tokico.

Eitherway the wheel not matter what drop will allow for more wheel gap.
