Lower Front End

Just wondering what is the low cost way to bring the front end down. I hate the gap from the tire to the fender in the front. I dont need expensive coilovers as it is not a big tracked car. Looking for something fairly inexpensive, yet effective.

Thanks

Swifts are good, I'm considering them myself. However, I'm also waiting for GTWORX.com to release the Racecomp springs for Evos.

I saw a thread before about just dropping the front on springs.

Does anyone know if this would be okay to do?

Has anyone dropped the front only?

The problem with that is that while sometimes it might make the car look the way you want it to, the car's balance will be thrown off.

Do all 4 corners or nothing at all.
If you just do the fronts, your handling will go out the window.
Unless of corse you want to appear to be driving down hill all the time.
