I have a sense that the Tokico reds on almost full hard keep the springs from compressing as much as they would if the struts/shocks were on a softer setting, but I am not sure they would drop much more so I need to try a much softer setting and see if the "stance" is lower or not.

Right now, the space from top of the tire to the edge of the wheel well on front and rear is 1.5"...I would like more like 1/2" inch total.

If setting the struts/shocks on a softer setting will not lower it much more, then what springs would you suggest I need front and ear seeing the current setup in these pics to put the fenders about 1/2 inch above the tire? Tanabe DF210s?

Thanks for any suggestions.
I got Tein basis coilover. I lower the front about inch an half and I could lower half inch more to close the gap between fender and tire. The rear I lower it just touch the rear fender. I will post some pictures soon.

If you want to adjust the height, you should go for coilover.

Can you adjust your height and dampening with your coilover?
