Yeah, just angle your way on/off speed bumps and occasional dips. I have mine lowered on RS*R springs w/AP1 wheels, doesn't scrap at all. It's lowered .8" in the front and 1.4" in the rear.

i think that you will find the eibachs to be very similar to stocks.

the only diff i can tell is the look and it does seem to track even better (i also had the car aligned for an aggressive street alignment). before the alignment i got some rubs. after it only rubs in the front and on decent size bumps (speed bumps for example, if i take them too fast)
