Help with springs...
I have a 98.5 without sport springs, (yeah its rally ready) the drops listed by companies like eibach, or h&r, are those from the factory sport settings, or my 4 wheeling, rally racing, monster trucking, suv settings? I'm looking for a couple of finger gap, but can't afford coilovers, which springs do you guys like the best? thanks

The drop is usually from stock, non-sport height. Just ordered...
Neuspeed Sport springs (1.25" drop) and Neuspeed/Bilsteins (height adjustable to go 20mm lower in front and 10mm lower in rear).

where do you live? i just went to about a finger and a half
and i rub from time to time. haven't bottomed out yet, but i think i'm going to raise it up a little this weekend. i'm running 17's right now and plan to go to 18" bbs rx's after the winter. i'm sure i'd be too low to even fit them in right now.
Thanks.
