front stuts springs make huge gap between tire and fender
Are there any stock front strut springs that reduce the gap in the fender well. I replaced some worn out struts with unity complete struts. The tire gap is huge, over 4 inches. Has anyone found a brand of spring that does reduce this gap. I haven't tried putting the old springs back yet but that is next.

Re: front stuts springs make huge gap between tire and fende
Not really, I looked all throughout rockauto to see if I could find compatible springs that would be shorter, but the only way is to have springs made to spec, since they don't make lowering springs anymore.
A temporary fix does not exist. It becomes a solution until it needs to be fixed again.

Putting the stock springs back in is recommended. It will sit back at the correct height.
