Default Springs vs. Coilovers

ok out of all the cars I buy i always get coilovers, basically cuz I like no wheel gap and like to have it even all around. Recently I had 18 volks with Tein RA's but I returned the car back to stock and decided I want to remod again. So I ordered some sexy ass 17inch le28n in black, I want to slam the car but not like slam it wil the wheels tucking, I am trying to fin out if there is a spring out there that will lower the car so I have no wheel gap and that its all even in the front and rear. i dont want it higher in the front or higher in the rear, that sh!t bugs me. Thats why i always buy coilovers so I can make sure it doesnt happen. But I never track or auto x the car so I dont see the point of spending thousands of dollarss on coilovers. So if you guys can help me out on what springs would be perfect, and if you can post side shots of cars with 17's on the springs that will be great. My wheels will be here in a week so i would like to do this asap thanks again

and

Does anyone have any pics after this setup? Reviews? What size rims/tires can safely be used with the above setup?

Thanks

I don't think your going to get more then 1.5 inch drop with springs
So coilovers would be more what your looking for . But if your not
going to track I understand your dilemma. ( As you Know ) I recently
went from springs to coilovers and the car feels much better.
I don't think the suspension in our car works as well with springs
Once lowered it isn't able to have full travel, Like the coilovers well
good luck .
