Default Looking for an inexpensive and comfortable drop for my R..

I have 17" Volks on the way, and I am looking to close the fender gap.. Does anyone know an inexpensive (not over $1000 including install), and comfortable way to drop my R to close the gap.. Ride "bumpyness" is not a factor, I don't mind, I just don't want it to be unbearable.

I just bought some H&R sports for my R two days ago!

$180 bucks form CLAWS INC. in Fresh meadows.

So the "H&R Sports" are only springs? I wont need any new shocks? Just the springs? How much of a drop will they give me?

Tein S-Tech's are another good choice.

I've got a used set of Eibach springs fresh off of my R (went w/coil overs).
They worked out pretty well, but I also had the Mugen rear bar (nice "civilized" drop/look).
They can be had for something like $60 plus shipping.
if interested IM me. ed

Cut a coil off the stock ITR springs. Rides WAAAAY better than I thought.

No, I'm not ghetto. Don't knock it til you try it.

Ever notice how stiff ITR springs are from the factory? They are LIKE aftermarket springs as is.
