Have you thought about Eibach springs?

Not as low as the GLines, since i went with 20in wheels the Eibachs worked out fine and the front end aligned up with no problems. I had to trim the rear fenders for the 20x8.5 wheels about 1/2 in on top. No rubbing in front and rear even with 4 people inside. Good luck.

Hotrod....most have said that you should drive on the new springs for a couple hundred miles before doing the alignment, as the springs will settle a little while driving. Hope it helps.

I believe the closer coils should be at the bottom. Derek, TCRNCOB's son did the install for me. Here's a pic of the gold lines next to stock......
