Default Question about lowering springs.

I just got a set of Eibach Pro Lowering Springs put on my 07 GT and I'm just wondering if the front bumper will have enough ground clearance for me to add a CDC Classic chin spoiler. Will I have to adjust the ride height to add the spoiler or should I just skip out on it altogether? Thanks.

youll have enough clearance for the chin spoiler, but expect to have to go slow/angled up driveways as well as park further back in parking spots so the front doesn't hit the concrete

I was thinking of the same setup...

Does anyone have a pic of the clearance with the Pro-Kit and CDC Classic?

Personally, I wouldn't do it. You will scrub it on every bump or hump you go over. I thought about it until I scrubbed my stock bumper turning into a driveway that was just a little steeper than the norm. Yes it would look sick, but you will be marking it up. JMHO.

I have Steeda lowering springs and my stock CS/GT chin scrapes on every speed bump, even at angles.

i have pro-kit and the gt500 chin. You just have to be very careful. I only back into spots, and try to always take grade changes at an angle. But i still have a couple dings. However, my chin is only $70 not as pricey as the CDC.

I have the pro kits and the CDC Aggressive. It's livable but you do need to be aware of steep on ramps, speed bumps etc. I can't imagine the classic is any MORE trouble.

The CDC lowers the front so that I can't get my floor jack under the front and I only have the back lowered with Roush springs. I wouldn't use the CDC chin if I was going to lower the front.
