I wish I had got 19" for my car. I went to find out how much it is to lower my car and it was a lot more than I thought. I got 18" because I did not think the gap would be that bad for $80 more I could have had 19s. Well, thats just me venting lol

The gap wouldnt be different. You didnt lower the car enough

I did not drop it at all yet. I was looking at the ROTM and I want my car to sit like that. So the rim size does not matter when it comes to gap?

Nope, your wheel gap will always exist until you lower it.

gap on 19s would be just as bad it would actually look worse. more like a 4x4 cause the gap will be the same and the rim will make the car taller.
It needs springs

yup thats definetly a bad idea. They are POS's that just hurt your performance. Its almost as bad as cutting springs

So the springs are 250 each or for the set? I know that is a Noob question but, hell thats why we are all here to learn. I checked at a place and they told me it would cost around $900 to lower properly is that right or are they trying to get me?

sounds like they are trying to have you buy complete coilovers. How much of a drop are you looking for. If you only want around 2" then just get some nice KYB's and springs. Total that will run you around $600+install.
And you guys you can get the tein S-techs for only #160 total
HERE And then i would go with the KYB shocks. You could get either the normal GR-2's which are just a small upgrade from stock. Or you could go with the AGX which are 4-way adjustable
