Default stock wheel gaps and how they affect aftermarket lowering?

Okay, I have searched too many lowering springs posts now with no luck. I am wondering how different stock wheel gaps can affect the appearance offered from lowering springs. I have noticed several posts acknowledging a seemingly larger wheel gap in the rear. (This obviously would even out when lowered with Hotchkis) However, my stock wheel gap is seemingly higher in the front. About 3/4 of an inch. I am trying to decide which springs to get but am wondering if anyone else had a similar stock wheel gap issue and which lowering springs even out the gaps. ( Im, trying to decide b/w hotchkis, h-techs, trd) Pics would be helpful... Thanks!


Between those three springs, which is closest to the smoothness of the stock suspension?

just get coilovers and you can set whatever gap you want.
