Hotchkis race springs are really good they have 1 of the highest spring rates for lower springs (stiffer), but still have great ride quality. i miss my old ones

drop on the if 1.5F & 1.8R, not the exact drop ur looking for but, its close.

Will that produce any rubbing or anything with 18inch rims? I just want to eliminate wheel gap on my car without rubbing or having to roll my fenders

Tein S Tech is not low enough for you. I went with Eibach Sportline and is pretty happy with it.

This thread has all your answers:

Rubbing or not also depends on what kind of tires you're running. Generally springs is not low enough to get you rubbing I don't think.

i have no idea ive never even owned any wheel bigger the 16". lol

i think u should be fine though, the drop is not drastic and it kind levels off the car since our cars came with that "raked" look.
