The car was lowered 1.2" in the front and 1.3" in the back, but there is still a pretty big gap up front, although its a lot better than before.
Anyway, I was just looking for suggestions on closing the front gap. Should I have gotten coilovers for the front? I could maybe try to exchange/sell the front shocks/springs back used since I just got them installed yesterday. Or, maybe I just have the wrong rims/tires for this car.
I've read that lowering the car more than 1.2" in the front you run into driveability problems, etc. Is that true? I live in the Boston area, so the roads suck.
Thanks in advance for the help. I've attached a picture of my car after being lowered on the above mentioned setup.
Thanks,
Dave

Coilovers are your best bet to go lower and more stiff for crappy roads.
