if it's the stock antenna it's no problem......the only ones that break off are the silly shorty ones sometimes and the retractable ones that people forget to put down......i worked part time at a car wash in college.


oh yeah and the cell phone ones that go on windows.

Lower it the two inches i got the eibach sportline springs and it looks so good. You will regret not putting the 2' drop on it. just go slow and you will be fine.

I had H&R Supersports on my 02 convertible and it was too low. I liked the look, but I scraped everywhere. Even on roads where the tracks are kinda sunken in, the middle of the car would hit and it sounded God awful. The other thing is, all the springs I've had lowered more than advertised. I have Steedas now and they are a good stance and I have few problems. Can't go to some car washes though. Just choose wisely. Those H&Rs literally left me under 3 inches of ground clearance under the k-member and they advertised a 2 inch drop.

Dang that sounds too low! I had CUT Eibach Pro-Kit on mine and it was SLAMMED and slightly raked. I took them off because I though that the springs were making noises or causing problems but I did not scrape as bad as you described wow. I put on the Sportlines and still heard the sounds. Turned out just to be my Magnaflows needed to be moved and adjusted a bit to keep from banging around. Anybody wanna buy a slightly used set of CUT Eibach Pro-Kit springs dirt cheap?

not to forget that convertible have less ground clearence to start and are a little heavyer.so some spring could be perfect on a GT coupe but not that good on a convertible.
as for my,like i stated i dont regret going sportline instead of pro-kit.
and no need for caster camber plate.just got an alignement today and the could put it ok with the stock plate.
