lets say in a perfect word price isnt an issue...
im looking to drop my car but before i do that i need wheels right?

ok so lets say i got some 18x8 rims on some low pro tires but idk the specs on the tires.. does that matter too much?

any way i wanna drop my car so the point where theres barely any gap form the top of my tires to the fender or mayb .5 inch something sexy lik that.. what kind of coil overs would u recomend?

ive looked through threads n ive seen the ff2 or ff1 mentioned alot.. ive also seen megan ez streets or somethign lik that and then some tein basics?
are there any more i should have come across by now?

what about a "used" set up would that do me any good?

please let me know what u guys recomend and what u guys are sitting on
id greatly appreciate it HOOAH!

Im dropped on FF type 1's and I am happy with the drop I got... Im not at the lowest setting and have less than an inch gap, and there pretty easy on the wallet, definitely worth the price.

Its all about what you want. All your questions have been answered in the countless other threads that you claim to have read. Ksport and Function & Form offer stiff rides. Tein and D2 offer soft rides. Ground Control coilover sleeves are another option. You need to read.

If all you want to do is eliminate your wheel gap and maintain comfort then look at Tein basics or superstreets and D2 coils. If you're looking to slam your baby to the floor then function form are the better choice cause those will go loooooow. If you want a good set up for more spirited driving look at koni yellow shocks matched the ground control sleeves. Looking for comfort? Tein Comfort Sport (Or whatever they're called). Looking to plow snow? Function form either type (Though I prefer 2s).

Check out the suspension review thread in the product review forum. You'll find more choices there but these are the popular picks.

For tires for 18x8 rims go for 225/40 or 215/40 for a little stretch.

Also if you buy used just remember you get what you paid for however you will strick gold sometime. Just wait for a good deal and most forum deals are legit. Same with the wheels. Theres some hot gram lights for sale still I believe.

If you're asking if specs on tires matter at all...you need to read more.
