Got a 133 cup and just want the car sitting a little lower so not so much gap between arch and wheel but what is best coilovers or lowering springs

In think your slightly confusing yourself. Its the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre combination that's important to the gearing, arch gap and ride height. Going up a size in wheel is normally accompanied with a reduction in aspect ratio to reduce the sidewall height.oscar":3mfs5x5n said:putting on bigger sized rims will also help to decrease the gap but not by much. for example going from 16 - 17 inch wheels will reduce the distance from the tyre to the arch by half an inch or 13mm approximately. hopefully i got my calculations right there! please be aware that putting bigger wheels on the car and then putting lowering springs on and say lowering 25mm and then putting bigger wheels on from 16 - 17 will actually mean you'll actually raise the car back up half an inch or 13mm or whatever half an inch is
