idk what sizes those are, but I'm almost 100% sure he's on coils. It's doubtful you'll get so little wheel gap with just shocks/springs.

I'm not trying to piss on your parade, but it is something to consider. just b/c you get coils doesnt mean your ride necessarily goes to shit. You rode in jason's car. those are megan streets on full hard damping. plus iirc tein makes a more comfort oriented coil for our application.

and no to the donk-a-liscious rims fuck that noise. sorry doug i would love to have matching cars after your done painting but yours has way more flake, and to john i know i know i should get coils i just dont like the ride, i like not pissing blood everytime i drive. but for the desired look i want i need em, i guess first i should get those rims and then get coils if i dont like the gap. i just like the sizes and tire sidewall of that green car thats why i asked for the sizing.

my car has silk road coils with an 8/6 spring rate setup and very agressive valving. jason's car has the same spring rate but a much less agressive valving.

tein makes 2 sets of coils you should look into that will let you adjust the height but not compromise your stock-like ride quality too much.

the Tein Basic dampers are a 6/6 spring rate combo and I would imagine would not be too agressively valved, as they are designed for a street only vehicle. the Tein Super Street coils have the same spring rate combo, but would most likely be valved more for performance than comfort. I'd say check out the tein basics. the only "bad part" is that neither setup includes camber plates. but since its a comfort oriented dd that has shocks/springs on it now, I didn't think that would bug you too much.

Edit: one last thing. a friend of mine from school had a used set of tein super streets on his car. I drove it and rode in it and was suprised b/c it was a decently handling car, but the comfort aspect was definitely the focus of those coils.
