What springs for a 93 R-1?

What Springs should i use to get rid of some of the wheel gap on my r-1 without having to worry about the front fenders hitting the tires. I will be using 17x8 17x9 wheels with 225/45ZR17 tires in the front and 245/40ZR17 in the rear (dont ask why so thin, i had these on a 240sx and the tires are almos new, so im not going wider yet hehe) i think the offset of the wheels is like +27 front +35 rear. I have been considering the Eibach Pro-Kit, or maybe the Eibach Sportline springs. Keep in mind that i will be keeping the stock shocks for now. I dont want coilovers either... so yeah.. help me out

I use racing beat springs benny. Takes care of the gap perfectly with my 17s.

The Racing Beat springs do have the least amount of drop in the front but your front wheel's offsets will be the problem.
