Need HELP!!!Its time to drop the Black Pearl!!

Well,I finally have some spare change laying around and its time to drop my 91 camaro...Just some specs on it....I have 18" Irocs on it with Pirelli Scorpion tires-255/45/18.I have a wonderbar,homemade SFC and a tower strut brace for the suspension...the tires do rub a lil but if i rub anymore when i drop it,ill just have to hack away so they dont rub....Budget is a big thing but i dont want to jeopradize the ride quality....I have a lot of fender gap as you can see from the pics....What does everyone recommend??Eibach sportlines or pro kit??Also is the thunderracing.com special a must?The special that comes with the LCA brackets,pan hard bar and springs....All and any info is greatly appreciated..
Here are the pics

Just for your info the rule dose not apply to remote linking like you did. Just if you upload to the boards! So with that said lets see some more picks!:hail:

change your tires first....those things would be perfect for offroad. your gap is large indeed but your tires are worse.

look at these specs versus what you should have...

Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
245/40-18 3.9in 12.9in 25.7in 80.8in 784 0.0%
255/45-18 4.5in 13.5in 27.0in 84.9in 746 5.1%

hell you'll drop your car 2" just putting the right tires on the car.

Yeah I'd start w/ different tires and then after you get that figured out I would decide weather or not to get the pro kit or the sportlines........
