1"-1 1/2" drop? help! hey guys, I am gettin a set of 18's all around and want to close the wheel well gap up a little, I am also gettin the TSP catted Y with my headers so I won't have a whole lot of clearance but im looking to lower my car. Im thinkin 1" or 1 1/2" would be perfect. Any suggestions on who makes springs for that amound of a drop? I know advertised is that amount but people always say it ends up to be more

I also have TSP catted Y on Pacesetter LTs. Shop around before you buy the TSP setup. They ride very very low to the ground. I guarantee you will bottom out. I am going to redo my Y setup this winter. My 275/40/18 gave me an extra 1" in diameter in the tire which has helped. I handles great and looks great as well.
I have the BMR 1" springs and 18x9.5 with 265/35/18's up front and 18x11 with 295/35/18's in the rear. I also have a TSP dual 3" X pipe and the car doesn't drag bottom too much. I think it looks alot better than the 4x4 cars also.
