Im dropped on the Eibach Pro-kit w Tokico Illuminas and i'm loooking into the OEM lip kit.

I was just wondering if anyone who is dropped has trouble with the kit scraping the ground?

You will need to be careful going up and down steep inclines, but for most driving you don't need to worry. Even a less steep incline/bump, if you go up too fast, you may scrape.

yea, inclines and roads that are slanted towards the parking lot exit slant is a problem as well, you will deffinitely scrape in that situation, best thing is to try to go at a 45 degree angle when exiting in that type of situation. Other then that, your lip will not scrape on speed bumps or dimps in the road. Maybe over rail road tracks, idk.

Yep, try to enter and exit at an angle and you should be fine for the most part. And I must say again, going slow up and down inclines will take away a lot of your worries.

i have an oem lip kit along with about 1 finger gap all around, my front bumper can still clear the parking curb O.o

Yeah. I've scraped up pretty badly already. It's inevitable. Just have to be careful with parking stops, curbs, dips, bumps... but not overly careful where it's gonna stress you out and drive you crazy. Take note of how many people ride in your car as well. I notice I scrape the bottom corner more than I actually think pulling into parking spaces with a curb next to it. I just can't hear it or feel it, but I see it after I check. I've also dinged up my exhaust tip a little parallel parking next to a high curb. Sucks, but you can't really see the bottom anyways and OEM kits are really durable. Unless you scrape ridiculously bad (aka driving over a parking stop as one of my friends did one time, it ain't gonna fall off like a drift car.

I've also scraped. I had the front lip re-painted then my g/f screwed it up. I'm dropped on H&R Sport and an OEM kit. I also bottom out over some speed bumps if I don't slow down enough when I go over it. Once you learn the limits of your car, you'll be okay, but I am sure you'll scrape a couple times before you get it. Just remember go slow and at an angle.

I have H.tech springs + Koni Yellows + OEM kit ... I've scraped the front lip a few times on high curbs. It was worse when I had the original Comptech springs ... LOL.

Just be smart and don't get too close to curbs, etc ... you should be fine.

However, I heard the Eibach springs are lower than the Comptechs ... so be extra diligent.

yes but you will soon master the art of driving up inclines/decents diagonally
