With springs on....
....how many of you guys are scraping curbs with the front end when in parking lots? Are your stock rims/tires rubbing the fenders at all?

I have to be extra careful when parking. The nose still fits over some curbs but not others. No problems with rubbing as the Comptech springs don't provide a huge drop.

yup, you HAVE to be VERY careful of curbs in the front, and I do get SOME rubbing when I have 2 or more passengers in the car...

only problem would be the front since the overhang is so long...just dont pull all the way into a parking space to be sure u dont scrape...as for the clearence under the car...there is plenty...and w/ the comptechs, no danger of rubbing or bottoming out at all...i dont even angle all the time cuz the car still sits so high

My previous car was a '98 Sebring and the front always scraped curbs and bottomed out in road dips or at steep angles. I would love to get the springs but I always hated having to be so cautious.

I was also wondering about scraping, I park my CL-s in a garage everyday for work, usually on the 3rd or 4h level, so I obviously have to go through a few ramps to access each level.... Any problems with these kind of ramps with comptechs? (coming down and up). thanks

I have taken many ramps such as this, including the one into my own building. Never once had a problem with scraping there
