LG Hypercoils Okay I am sick of my fenders hitting my tires and slicing them on bumps. So I need a good set of springs that will work for every day driving and with ET streets at the track. I have 17/11 Fikse FM5's so what will be a good spring but not to low and I do not want stock springs because I hate how they ride. Any advice please
The ride problem is not the springs, it's the shocks. You hate whatever shocks you're running, they have a much greater impact on ride than spring rates ever will.. So, I'd buy good shocks (Koni SA's?) and a reasonable spring ("not too low", probably means SLP-Eibachs, not the Eibach pro kit).
Have fun!

LG Hypercoils I have Hal QA1 shocks and I have them set on the 4th adjustment from the bottom for the street (I would go stiffer but I dont think I should for daily driving the car, I think they would blow) but the tires will still hit the fenders on the highway and stuff. So I figured I needed to raise the car up a little.

I thought you were looking for springs, not that you already had a set. The Eibachs are not "too low", but they are probably similar to the springs you have and they have a lower spring rate. Based on that, I'd not switch springs. As Louis said, roll the fenders a little and you should be fine.

Verdad Gallardo Take an exacto knife, and slice the paint about a 3/16" in from the face of the fender. Put masking tape over the cut, and a few more strips covering either side. This weill prevent the flaking that may occur.
Now, rolling them, there are a few ways. The roush roller
Baseball bat and a couple of buddies in the trunk, and walk it back and fourth.
Or a leather hammer and roll it sloftly. You can use a steel ball pien, but thats a little more rough.
