so i have the usual rota grids 18x9.5, i will not be slamming my ride but i do want it to be low with little to no wheel gap, can i get away with raceland coilovers or should i buy something a little stiffer, i plan on getting some spaacers for the rears to poke a bit, but i dont want to f up my fender which will be rolled.

 

With as many people running that exact setup (goes for any 18x9.5" wheel), where's the guess work? Do some searching and you'll find plenty of examples. You already know stiffer springs equals less suspension travel, so if you don't want to rub on dips or from weight transfer, get stiffer coils.

 

thanks im very aware that it is possible, but i dont want to have to drive slow as ____ on roads that arent smooth, i guess thats what im really asking is am i going to have to drive super slow over every dip and bump in the road in order to not rip my fenders off or will i be ok? clearly it is possible but i dont drive slow

 

if you're not careful with any lowered car, it's going to get ____ed up.

 

^x2 The fender liners might have to be removed if your roads are that bad that you really work the suspension.

 

You have 18x9.5, you want little to no wheel gap, you do not want to mess with your fender liners, you do not drive slow, the equation cannot be balanced.
