Eibach prokit too low with oem mudflaps??
Im thinking of getting the Eibach prokit springs....

Right now i just have the front OEM lip and body-colored mudflaps front and back. Would the springs be too low where the mudflaps can scrape the ground or speedbumps??

Thanks

i dont think the prokit will lower the car that much which makes the mudflaps touches the ground..

Sorry...should re-phrase to whether it will scrape on speedbumps as u sort of bounce after u pass the bump or while backing up off a curbed driveway ...

I have Tanabe DF210s installed and I only scrape on those redicloiusly high speed bumps, but if you have a passagner or 2 than you'll scrape for sure. Also, if you're exiting a mall/plaza with a steep dip onto the street, you'll have to exit diagonally cause you'll scrape your front bumper. I.E. I scraped mine on the way out of the Canadian Tire on Bullock Drive. Luckly I took my front lip off so I only scraped my bumper (it's on the bottom of the bumper so you can't see it)

Good Luck!!!
