I have been over plenty of speedbumps that are actually in the roads that are humps and personally can go over them as fast as I want... I could go like 50 and then probably smash the front end of my car on the way down but thats about it...

I have Eibach Pro-Kit and haven't had one clearance problem, except scraping an exhaust hanger on my driveway because it is so steep.

I could definately do some damage by going 10 mph over a speedbump, but cruising at about 2-3 mph is fine for me...

-Jeff
I have a pro-kit as well but mine hits on some bumps. I think they shipped me the wrong shocks. do the shocks have a part # or something like that on them? The box says pro-kit but I feel it is too low for a pro-kit and could have been swapped to a sportline kit when i installed it.

I would say go with a full coilover set, you can adjust your ride height and it realy helps the suspention, btw Sleeper05 your car looks amazing!

You just have to angle it like crazy even if it gets in the way of other people

BMR makes 2 springs...one lower then the other..i guess you got the lower one..

My BMR are 1.25 front 1.75 rear..drop no issues at all....

You must have gotten the 1.5..2.0 drop..

I also have the Eibach Pro and have never had any issue with hitting spied bumps. Although i do have some very large ones where i live in various places I simply drive very slow and angle the car across them.

You could try the Steeda Ultra Lite Springs I think they only lower the cars rear 1-1/4"

Just out of curiosity, how much did you guys pay for your Eibach pro kit, and install? The owner of MustandDepot here in las vegas said he would do the kit, plus install in one day for $500.....what do you guys think?

so you want springs that are better performance than stock, but keep the factory ride height right? man, if you can find some of those i would love to have a set aswell. ill have to keep an eye on this thread!
+1
