Nah a 2 inch drop with side exhaust would def scrape alot on on even surfaces. I've the eibach prokit with no iso's and its not bad but everyonce in awhile the h pipe will scrape on oneven surfaces

Lowering a car makes it look and handle better but you loose the clearance and comfort with it. You have to give up that for the look. I chose not to lower the car I have now because my last one scraped all the time and rode like a four wheel drive with a two inch drop.

Yeah, my H-pipe scrapes on all kinds of stuff. You just gotta be careful. Drive slow as hell over speed bumps and avoid big dips.

I used to have borla side exhaust and I scraped everywhere with stock suspension.

Your muff. are 4-5 inches off the ground? You should feel lucky. I put eibach sportlines on and now my flows are sitting about 1 inch off the ground. It's getting annoying.
