I would like to drop my car but am afraid of messing up my front apron. The roads over here are not the best, not really pot holes but up and down roads ex. surges of concrete getting hot and buckleling. I would get the eibach pro-kit or some Tein's. The Tein's would give me about an 1" in drop which wouldnt lower it to drastically. Y'all let me know y'alls experiences. EX: Regular travel, dips in roads, speed bumps, elevated driveways. Thanks

i had the 15"s with a 404A lip and the Sportlines.
I was fine, as long as you are careful w/ ramps and such, you should be fine. The stiffered the springs the less of the amplitude of the oscillation from w/e-it-may-be... so the chance of smacking into the ground MAY ultimately be lowered... -------------------- |

I got major scrapping problems on driveways. I make speedbumps, but driveways I got to take at an angle. My rear is extremely low. I got to get airbags, thats the solution.
