Default Anyone with an Agressive Chin spoiler thats LOWERED???(HELP)

Ok I bought an Agressive Chin Spoiler and the Eibach Pro Lowering Springs. I had someone tell me that with that chin spoiler and lowering springs that it was sooo low to the ground that u could not go over speed bumps. Does anyone have that problem?? or am i fine? I dont wanna drive through a parking lot and go over a speed bump and rip the whole darn spoiler off. Will it be THAT low of a clearence??? Help! thx!

your car will be low...I have the same springs, and the roush kit, and yes, it can be trouble, although I have had no problem with speed bumps, I do have to hit some driveways at an angle. You just have to decide if the look and improvement in handleing are worth it.. I obviously think they are.
good luck

Im in the same boat. With the FRPP springs I do sometimes scrape a little going over the speed bumps at my apartment unless I do it a certain way. I would like to get the chin spoiler if i knew that it wouldn't have clearance issues.

I have the classic chin spoiler and stock springs, but I have alot more clearance issues than I thought I would. I can just barley get into my driveway now. Its not just about how much lower the chin spoiler makes the car but also how much further forward away from the wheels it puts the low point. My approach and departcher angles suck now. There are places I just cant go in the car. My LTs give me just as much if not more trouble though. The cats are somthing like 4.5" off the ground. I have a thread you can search for where I installed my chin spoiler and it has a pic of my driveway.

The largest problem you will have is not speed bumps but inclines. You might not notice it untill u have it but almost every driveway has an incline.

I could not deal with a lowered car and an agressive CS.

Thanks! That was my thinking but I was looking for some conformation. I will stick with stock for now.
