lowering spring help

I am planing on buying H&R drop spring 1.8 front/ 1.7 rear. And get a set of rohana rc22 wheels 20x10 +25 front/ 20x11 +28 rear. And go with stretch tire, but i dont know with that wide wheels and that low spring. Will it be scrap the fender, and with the much of drop will it give me a lot of problem when riding in the car?
Please give me some advice on which spring best fit.

Those springs are not a good idea. They are notorious for having a terrible ride and destroying the stock dampers in short order. The lowest you can go with lowering springs alone without having problems is about 1.4 inch. If you want to ride lower than that you need to look into coil overs.

I wouldn't suggest going that route. I generally don't recommend going lower than 1.25" on OEM dampers as you'll run out of compression travel and the ride will be horrible!! The dampers won't last very long and your CV's will hate you... The lowest I'd go with coilovers would be 1.5" max for street use and 1" for track use.

Please feel free to call, email or PM me anytime with questions.

Kind regards,
