Lowering Car 1.25 all around
I am looking at the Eibach Pro kit for lowering my car 1.25" all around... right now there is like 2.55" clearance on the back (fender gap) and like 2 in the font.
I was driving the other day pretty fast on a backroad and hit a bumpy surface on the right side of the road and my right tire hit the fender and rubbed (it can be seen) ... if i lower my car is it going to hit my fender all the time when i drive around or what?

I've got the pro-kit on my car and love it...the only problem I see you having is clearence for your tires because they stick out so much...but the springs are nice and stiff so you shouldn't have a problem...the stock springs are crap along with the decarbons...
I had the Sportlines and they were great...almost a 2" drop on all four corners. But if I did it again, I would buy the Pro-kit as they have a more aggressive spring rate allowing for more spirited driving. When I changed springs I also changed shocks to Koni adustables...night and day difference over the stock deCarbons.
Good luck

Yeah I ve got the sportlines , perfect stance but not harsh / stiff enough for me . Im going coilovers with about 40 % stiffer springs and koni adjustable shocks . Yes you will rub your fender more often if you lower your car , you may have to roll the lip or get the upgrade block / bumpstop spacer from gm or a scrapyard . . . it moves the bumpstop 1/2 inch lower to stop the possibility of rubbing your quarters . Get G2 or suspension tech springs if your looking for an out of the box kit thats low like the sportlines , much stiffer rates .
