$300 is kinda cheap if you are looking for anything good.

not really. for $300, get ITR springs, ITR shocks, and ITR rear LCA's. should be easily available gently used for under $300. nothing better for anything close to 3-4 times the price imho.

who the hell cares about something as trivial as [b}wheel gap????[/b] , that's pretty damn lame. if that is the concern, just cut the springs for like $20.

is the ride quality important or is removing the wheel gap important? just off the top of my head id say go with skunk2 everyone around here does although every bump in the road is magnified. or get a used set of springs like eibach or neuspeed for the drop you need and a used set of adjustable shocks like KYB or Tokico. the 1in drop on the itr setup might not remove enough wheel gap for your taste

DON'T buy anything for $300.

Don't buy in haste, wait until you can afford something a little better, trust me you will thank us.

Suspension Techniques Springs online they go for around $110
Search the classifieds for a set of tokico blues, they will surface, you could get those for two bills or less, from there, buy a camber kit when you can afford it.
