Wheel gap

I'm sure this has been covered a few times but I can't get a definitive answer. I own a 2018 2SS rag top and looking to eliminate the wheel gap. I keep reading post about the Eibch & BMR Lowering Springs. I'm not sure what size to go with. I'm presently running stock rims and rubber. I definitely don't want to rub the fenders off from the inside nor slice into the tires. All recommendations would REALLY help me out and maybe a few pics. THANK YOU..!

Well, there are several options to choose from and it depends if your car has MRC or not.

In my case, my Camaro did not have MRC. I went with the Chevrolet Accessories Lowering Suspension Upgrade System for the Camaro convertible. Lowers the car slightly, about 20mm on average I think, and stiffens up the ride a bit. I am satisfied with the overall result.

I am running stock wheels and tires at this time.

I have the BMR lowering springs and I like how they've changed the look of my car. There was also a noticeable improvement in the suspension responsiveness during turn in, but I think you'll get that with any lowering spring setup. I'm running stock wheel/tire sizes and have no issues with rubbing. I went with BMR because they were not as aggressive of a drop as other brands and because they are made in the USA.

I will be going with Eibach. I want the more aggressive lower stance. I will be adding the MMR 1le rims to my SS at the same time. I have some concerns with the rubbing too. I guess Ill just have to cross that bridge when it comes.

I have the Eibach springs and the MMR wheels. No rubbing at all
