Default Keep my springs and get rid of wheel gap?

I have H&R Sport Springs on my car right now, preferrably I'd like to get rid of the wheel gap that's still there. I was wondering if I could do this and still use my current springs. I'd like to get some Koni Yellows, will that drop the car further?

Car's not being tracked, so I'm looking for a comfortable setup that will eliminate most if not all of the wheel gap. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Note* If it helps I will be sporting some Rota Auto-X's come spring.

what shocks are you running right now?

you can drop it further possibly with an adjustable shock/strut.

If you lower your car using the bottom perch of the Koni Yellows and H&R Sports your car will be slammed and your tires will tuck.. I have that setup and tried the bottom perch and the height was like using ground control coilovers turned all the way down to the bottom. You're only supposed to use the height settings with stock springs anyway.

i wouldnt say that, if he had koni yellow it would take him a bit lower.

to the OP: honestly id say if you wanted to go lower and keep a ride comfort...get some springs that drop the car lower(the race versions)

Alright, I figured that it would be the best way to do it. One last question though, am I correct in saying that I need to get new shocks with lower springs? I do need the advantage of being able to lower and raise the car, so I'd probably switch to adjustable coilovers if I end up deciding to do this, but I do need new shocks right?
