Question racingbeat spring question

Racingbeat claims it will lower the car 1", but the springs i have now are supposed to also, but i have a lot of fender gap, i want to eliminate most of it, the front end sits low, but the rear just looks jacked up a little. I'm going to buy the racingbeat spring set if i know it will make the car look a lot lower. Anybody have the springs? Opinions?


thanks

They still leave a fair bit of gap, and you have to think, most cars are running stock springs, which have sagged more than the new springs, so they infact make the car ride higher. The Suspension techniques springs drop it around 2"

Dropping the car over and inch induces stupid camber problems in the rear which you cannot adjust out.

I wouldn't recommend dropping the car that low, but if you do be prepared with tire eatings problems.
