I have the Eibach Pro-kit lowered the car 1.4" in front and 1.5" in the back. I also have the CDC Classic Chin Spoiler. It sits 5 1/2" off the ground. You just need to be careful over speed bumps.


And what happens when you hit a retread.

Dang, now im thinking about taking back my lowering springs because i dont want my chin spoiler to break. The springs i got are going to lower my car about 2 inches (progress), should i still get it lowered? I already bought both the chin spoiler and the springs but the springs are not on yet. I just dont wanna have a lot of problems because i dont have a lot of money to repair stuff.

If you want a chin spoiler you should not go with an aggressive drop or you will be sorry. I have Eibach Sportline's which is also2"and my front spoiler only sits about 4-3/4" above the ground any lower and you will have a plow.

I used the eibach pro-kits and ended up only 11/4 inch lower front and rear. Other than playing -ell with parking space bumpers, I've been golden. But I don't have a chinspoiler.

What springs do you have? Where did you get them? Will they exchange them out for you? You can still lower the car and have the chin spoiler. I had no problems until I hit that tire, and I am hoping I don't do it again.
