how to fix my wheel well gap!?

I WANT to fix my huge wheel well gap, it makes my 18's look like 15s lol...

Anyways I dont want to put out a lot of money for a high end lowering suspension.

One person told me I can cut my stock springs.... has anyone ever heard or done that lolol!?


Another person told me I can order fender flares or something but I cannot find any...


so does anyone have any ideas for a cheap lowering job, or cover up!!??!

help!!

i just looked on ebay and saw adjustable coiler overs for 19 dollars plus shipping ahahha

Cheap lowering job... that's an oxymoron in itself.

It's going to cost you no matter what. Sure you can cut springs, but I heard that doesn't work too well.

Get some good springs or a good coilover kit and a camber kit. No matter what, you're still going to pretty much need a camber kit.



And whatever you do... DONT' BUY CHEAP EBAY COILOVER KITS!!

~$350 will get you a nice set of Ground Control adjustable coilovers, perfect for what you're looking for. Or if that's too much, I think Eibach springs run like around the $280 range, but don't quote me on that.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO WITH 19 SPRINGS FROM EBAY!

You are going to drop a pretty penny to get a nice lowering job. If you do it cheaply like with 19 springs or cutting them you will regret it later. Most likely shortly after.

Ya a few days ago. They'll be fine then, then your car will hit the ground. If you're getting named brand like that for cheap, a lot of them are fakes. I got a set of "Tenzo R" spring for cheap... they're fakes. Didn't install them, just sitting there collecting dust. Cheap springs are cheap. They'll be bouncy, start sagging bad, and just suck. Spend the money for the love of god.
