lowest drop on springs

hey i just recently brought my car to my moms shop where she gets work and parts for free, well they took off the garbage coilovers and put all new perf shocks on and put OEM springs back onto the car. so basically the front fender is about 3.5 inches from the tire, and the back is 2.5 i was just wondering if anyone knew of springs with a drop such as a 2.5 or so, or if anyone has suggestions on how to go a diff way about lowering the car?

If you just got "performance shocks" with your OEM springs, then you can get lowering springs. They will make the gap a lot smaller. There are a lot of companies that make springs. Tein, Eibach, etc. Also you could always get air ride, but i wouldn't recommend it. Hopefully that was helpful.

Edit: typically the tein and eibach springs give around 1.2"-1.5" but shop around and you will find some that go to 4"

Without coil overs or air ride I don't believe anyone makes springs that will go that low (without cutting them).

edit: good coil overs are Maxspeed
