Lowering car with big wheels..

I searched a little and couldn't find much, so I figured I'd just ask, flame away if you like I can take it..

I'm running 225/35/18 Pirelli's right now, with the stock suspension on my 91. But it's still sitting way to high for me. What would be the best way to go about lowering the car without worrying about rubbing issues with daily driving? Also, I have 1/4" spacers all around to avoid rubbing on the strut right now.

Thanks!

do a coilover system like tein. or you can do eibach springs ,wit tockio 5way adjustables. i have 18/8 in front wit 245/35--and 18/9 wit 255/35 in the rear. all depends on wich one you can afford best is the coilovers cause it is straihgt and doesnt have anything sticking out to support a spring like on regular struts/shocks, whatever you want to call them .

Yep coilover is the best way, not cheap, but the best way, then you can keep dropping to you find the rub, then bump it back up again, pay extra and get the pillow block option, it makes a huge difference in handling...Max
