Lowering Of R34 Gtt

[GTT34]

I'm new to the scene, just got my 34 GTT and had changed to a new set of wheels 235/40 R18 front and 265/35 R18 rear. The gap between the guard and my wheels is too big, i want to lower the car to make it just sitting above the tyres. Anyone knows of a cheap and good way to do it. Heard that changing the springs is one option. IF so any brands to recommend ? Price ?

cheers

technically cutting your springs is the cheapest option, because you can do it yourself. But it aint the safest option. Just look at some super low king springs or something like that, only a few hundred bux for a full set.

Firstly do you frequently go up driveways on an angle? Reason I ask is, if you lower ur fronts where the guards meet the tyres with 235/40 at the fronts it will scrape the inner rear guards at full lock going up driveways. I had this problem and raised my car to about 350mm at the front (center wheel to guard) and solved the problem.

To answer ur question about cheapest way to lower...replacement king/whiteline springs would be your best option. But depending on how worn your shocks are, you would be best investing in SKs bilstein/whiteline kit. No point having nice big wheels with good tyres and shitty suspension.
