[flight1001]

hi guys,

if you slam it yea.. just depends how low you go. the lower you go the better you'll look =]

with the coils I've heard you can even make the car higher then stock if you wanted to. so it all depends on what setting you want it on. maybe you could ask if people with Eibach springs and greddy exhaust scrape or how much clearance they have and you could get a rough estimate of how low you can go with the coils without scraping.

i am currently at this height, not sure if it is too low for the exhaust

Eibach Pro-kit + Greddy Ti-C....no scrape whatsover. Tomorrow, I can snap pics backing out of my moderately steep driveway/sidewalk transition if you'd like to see for yourself.

Not sure on the coils, but its been mentioned plenty of times...if you don't want to scrape, dont dump your ride to a low setting. There's always the old school method....crab walk every incline/bump you come across.

My friends were complaining about me maneuvering around a dip today saying I was being overly cautious, so I took the next dip straight on fairly slowly and scraped the s*** out of my bumper (stillen fascia stock height). Nothing to do with your problem so sorry for jacking if I did, just on my mind and kind of under the influence

one member had greddy exhaust that I know and he scraped everthing with his exaust and he just had eibachs.... I would look into another exhaust line... I have a feeling the scraping is going to be pretty bad....

I've actually scraped my nismo exhuast three times and i have an eibach drop, One was at a car show on grass and their was a little hill. I have scraped twice on speed bumps. Also have had rubbing twice on the back tires with moderate weight in the trunk. I guess it really depends on your roads and driving conditions. Potholes in new york are insane so I went with biger tires and therefore i had some rubbing issues.

I have the spectrum elite on eibachs and have scraped a lot on speed bumps, driveways and raised man hole covers (due to construction). I hit one time to bad that it pretty much ripped the axel back off. Been fixed by hammers and brute force but still a pain in the a** lol. With your car that low you WILL scrape. The exhaust hangs down too low. I'm not sure why they designed it like that but it does...

Here's a video: at 2:40 of it on my car.

raised man hole covers (due to construction).

Couldnt agree more Ive had coils on for about a week now. My fascia is 3.75" off the ground. and Im terrified of the man hole covers that are raised....

My friend who has a white G35 with coils about $12k in work to it. Let his girl drive the car she hit something and bottomed out the car, basically ripped the frame out.....
Car is totaled.... So take things slow and dodge everything if possible!

The rides look is def worth it... I would stick around 3.5-4.5" Darryl is carzy with his 2.75"

Also along what Matt was saying the exhaust shouldnt be your main concern... your main concern should be the front of your car which is plastic.. the metal is going to hold up a lot better than the plastic bumper.... just my 2 cents

I have both BC Racing Coilovers and Greddy Spectrum SE exhaust. I have all the rings lock on the coils so I am as low as you can go with these on 18s. Here are some pictures of the bottom that will scrape. As you can see in one of the picture if you look at my exhaust flange at the end you can see its completely flat from scraping. I have also scrape the tip of my exhaust a few time as well. My front bumper scrape as well and the mud guard in the rear has scrape several times as well.






Me about to change my oil
