Default A Quick Question on lowering the rear a touch.

noob Question here! sorry guys!

I find the rear gap between the tire and the fender distracting. I would like to minimize it with the most minimum modifications possible, my tire guy says I can get a slightly larger tire in there. (and if thats true, I'll do that too!)

but I just want a bit of leveling. not a bumper scraper!

whats the best plan for a bit of leveling, without sacrificing stock ride quality/scraping bumpers?

and is it a good idea to get bigger tires on these things? (planned for 17 inch rims) and how would I adjust the speedo?

sorry, but I'm coming from Jeeps. always been a truck guy before this. so I'm really in the dark! wanna aske me a question about Mopar engines and Lockers... I'm your guy!

but lowering, well... that was blasphemous where I come from!

(sorry if this is answered elsewhere, the suspension threads i found didnt really answer my questions!)

you can always get the trd lowering springs. They lower the car just a bit and the ride quality is even better so people say. About buying a bigger wheel, i wouldnt recomend that, it would just make your car look wierd.

...I'm thinking Rally xB! LOL!( Just kidding... maybe...)

I went down and talked to my parts department today, 250.00 seems a fair price. for 1.5 inches of lowering, the next closest I found was 1.7
