Neuspeed Race
H&R Race
Intrax
Sprint
Progress

Those should all give you a very small gap, if any. You will want to use some Koni Yellows or other very good shocks to handle that big of a drop though.

my tein s-techs brought my front and rear perfect to the tire, so there is no gap and no rubbing with stock wheels.

Hi I have a pair of H&R sports. The ride is great. It dropped it much more than i ever expected it to and I want to sell it. I have a 97 LS also on stock steelies with 15" honda hub caps on it. There is NO fender gap whatsoever. The drop was about 2.3-2.5 over all. Front sits lower than the back. Looks really good. Ride feels like stock. Handles great. I need to take some pictures.

I agree I agree...

h&r sports are more drop than advertised. (maybe b/c I have a 4door)

I was looking for 1.8" drop and it was more like 2.2"

Adjustable springs by V-spec from VIS are great also.

I just installed a set of H&R Race springs on my teg with KYB AGX gas shocks. I'll snap some pics of it tommorow. I will be getting an alignment done this week since camber seems to be off(may be my imagination) but after seeing some of the pics of other cars, my car does not sit that low, I think the drop on my set of H&R springs was correct, no sag or excess drop but that could be due to the shocks as well. One thing I do like is when the car is on jack stands and there is no weight on the wheels, the springs stay compressed into the shocks, I saw some people with Ground control adj. coilovers and there was a lot of play in them when the car was raised which makes me think the ride would be pretty bouncy. After installing the suspension I immediatly realized I can take turns alot faster, so now it is time to go to a u pull it yard and scavange some bigger brakes
