I have Eibachs and I bottom out the bumper from time to time. Sure, it might scratch the bottom, but you'll never see it.

Parking sucks, you'll have no chance of clearing one those parking curb things.

stillen should be fine just pay attention and at steep incline/decline go in at an angle...........

AIT on the other hand is horrible with a drop if you read the thread abbout it, the guy who had it boke the cf lip on it bc it sits to low. He wants to put his car on bags so he wont have a problem with everyday driving

To everything that matt just said. The Stillen fascia is fine for everyday driving. I have had both the springs and the kit on for almost a year, and have barely scratched the bottom of the front twice. Both times were on very steep inclines pulling out of parking lots. I have never come close on the streets.

Is there a proper name for those things ???

Anyway, ya I only scrape going over steep inclines. It's not bad and I'm sure the driving you do you'll be fine just watching out for those dips and what not.

Did we find out if my bumper is lower than yours that night we met up at the hookah bar ???

Solution: back into all parking spots

Parking ladies don't like that where I live

It sucks because it's easier for me to back into spots than to go in forwards, but almost every parking garage where I live doesn't allow it
