Default perfect stance...

Hey guys, I'm in the market for some new springs and shocks. Have any suggestions on what would give me the best stance with my 17x9.5 zr-1's? I don't want any fender gaps, but I don't want to be scraping pipes when I go over a speed bump either.

I just installed an eibach Pro-kit and some Bilsteins HDs all around last week. I love the stance and ride. I have only hit my pipes one time, but that was my fault. I came out of a parking spot with a huge dip. That's something that you might not want to do in the future. I also have an '02 SS.

dms, pro-kit, even sportlines are ok. a true no-wheel-well space can really only be attained by having 18" rims. 17"s just don't quite do it while looking good at the same time. the sportlines will try to make it look good, and usually wind up not looking as good as the pro-kit. i have the dms kit, and after i took the rear spacer out where the rear springs sit, i'm a huge fan of the drop i got.
