Default Lowering Spring Help!

Ok Im looking to get some lowering springs for the time being so I can get rid of my wheel gap and until I save money for some KW Variant 3 coilovers. My question is what springs shall I get? Im going to get a front lip and want to get the car pretty low.

This is how my car sits now... I hate wheel gap it looks like a monster truck...





Any ideas? there is about 3 inches of wheels gap.
Thanks for all the help

skunk2, RSR, nuespeed (i think) and espelir are the lowest springs.

my car is on espiler's and it lowered 1 1/4 inches maybe a little less i can only get one finger in between the wheel well and the top of the tire, and that is with my finger flat on the tire. so my vote is for espilers.

EDIT: i'm on stock shocks too
