And new guy question... if you aren't really racing or anything springs are just fine and there is no real need for coilovers correct?

I also want to add that you will need an alignment after the installation of the spring kit. It's no big deal, but it should be done.

Has anyone performed the installation of these? Didn't see anything in the DIY. How intense is this looking?

Haven't actually had the problem. But I haven't driven it too much yet and my driveway is completely flat.

Are you taking the precautions of angled entries into driveways and analyzing potential issues? Usually after driving a lowered vehicle for any period of time it kind of gets embedded..

I have issues with cruising in trucks with friends.. and the general abandonment they can have with speed bumps, driveways.. stuff in the road.. lol

I find myself cringing all the time, because it's such the opposite to a low car. Kinda feel like a baby.. haha

Unfortunately that seems to be a problem for me as well in my town....... lots of uneven surfaces. I angle into my driveway daily, and still scrap a little. I'd love the Eibachs..... will have to think about the tradeoff with scraping. I also think the scraping is less spoiler and more the two airflow diverters in front of the front wheels, really low.
