I lowered my car with eibach pro-kit. I still have my stock rims on and I want to add Stillen front fascia, side skirts, and rear corner. Is it more harder to prevent scratches from dips, etc...Thanks

I have the Stillen Fascia and no springs and my car was lowered a bit so with the springs your car would probably be lowered about 2" in the front

just a guess, but my front end is about 1/2" lower maybe a little bit more

This is something that I've been wondering myself, because I've been wondering if coilovers is even an option for me. I may not be able to make it in or out of my driveway if I was lowered because of the rather large rise at the front of the driveway, my parents have a heck of a time getting in and out with there "07" G35 sedan.

Ya my mom has a bmw 530 and she has trouble getting up and down our driveway the whole thing is pretty steep (it's a task to get the 63 bug up it)

I have about 1/4" of clearance with my fascia, i dont know whats going to happen after I drop. Ill probably just have to park at the bottom and hike up to my house

i have had few scrapes with the setup you are talking about. mostly on steep inclines, in or out, of parking lots. normal driving is fine. be careful of speedbumps.

They do but they are Ksports and not really reputable. They have a lot of mixed reviews.
