I'm wondering how much the GC coilovers run (with everything needed) and the cheapest place I can get them. I'm sure everyone has seen how nicely Galant Girls car sits on those ADR 19s, and i am trying to get that same look for my car but with the 18s. I want the car drop so that the there is almost NO or VERY little fender gap. Also, do the progress springs drop the 8g galant the most (2.0f, 1.8r)? I'm not sure i can afford coilovers so I'm looking for springs that will give me the lowest drop possible.
Thanks.

If you want almost no gap between the fender and tires, you would need coilovers. No springs of yet can drop you that much.

In addition, with the drop you are looking for, be prepared to scrap on almost anything.....

Well it depends on where you live I guess. At my location, I got bumps up the ass not to mention when I get to school, the parking has lots of big bumps....

What springs will give me the maximum drop...I believe the Progress but im not sure. Also, how much do the Eibach Eclipse springs drop the galant?
ChromeGalant what is your drop front and rear?

But Chrome and MrJaydeeone...
are your g-rides I-4's or V6's?? I have an I-4 and I heard the Progress dont drop the I-4 up front as much as the V6's because the springs are made for the V6's, if anyone knows please clear this up for me...
