RE: Scraping w/ Eibach pro?
I might have to switch my springs too, i want the roush fascia but I am not sure how much clearance I will have.....so i might get the roush fronts to give me a inch more clearance....no sure yet.

RE: Scraping w/ Eibach pro?
It really depends on the body kit and wheels you have on. The springs lower the entire vehicle (chassis) while a body kit for example will just lower the bumper or side skirt and not the frame. With a CDC classic, you probably wont have too many problems w/scraping. I've never scraped the back, as low as i am, but i have scraped the front and even the center (w/the side skirts) Anyway, here is the pro-kit with our front fascia set up and 20" wheels down a ramp as well as while driving at high speeds.

I think you will be alright, just aslong as you arent trying to Monster truck a curb or go over big *** speedbumps.
Quick questions, it seems like alot of you have the Eibach Prokit, is nothing else needed with that kit or what? I wanna lower it just for the look, but dont wanna have to worry about buying shocks/struts, etc. Thanks

I did pro kit and kept stock shocks with no other suspension mods.I have no problem with the ride. Im sure it would be alot better with D specs, but I am fine for now till the stock shocks wear out. Then Ill get the D specs.

Well i have 265/35/18 in front and Matt told me that i will scrape. He had the same set up and had to switch to a diff. front tire. So i'm going to prolly go with the Steeda or Roush springs which is only a 1" drop in front.

Of course, in some parts of the country you've got some nicely paved, smooth and flat highways that won't make your lowered ride feel poor.
I recommend getting the shocks/struts installed at the same time as the springs.
