Won't that lower the clearance even more?

You will probably have to go with different springs that aren't so low. Eibachs only lower 1" and run about $200.

that's the extra price you pay to slam your ride. If you can't see the damage, then who cares. Your body kit isen't going to last forever, your probally repaint it later or replace it. Unless your having camber problems or tire problems, leave it alone.

What about some pics?

I have eibachs, lowered by 1.25 inches or so.. also run into some problems with scraping.. just go very slow on driveways, learn to avoid the steep ones, and also put some cheap aluminum kick plates underneath the front lip.. so, the scraping is just on the kick plate surface vs. the body kit.

back out at an angle. Don't know what body kit you have but it helps with some kits.

What about one of those kits that makes the front end rise up to go over speedbumps and such, like some Ferarris have? I saw someone else refer to it in a thread yesterday and mentioned a brand name, so I think they have a universal kit that can be fitted to any car. Not sure how it really works...

Your spelling and paragraph structure are atrocious. Get serious.

You can get a clear plastic 3M film to cover the front end. I don't think it will help if you keep on hitting the front lip though, but it may delay the inevitable...

Lowering with that kit will only give you trouble at the driveways.
Like most say, drive up or down at an angle. What happened to the pieces that fit under the exhaust tips?I have the real VS v3 kit and it will scrape like crazy.
Did you buy a genuine kit? Did the install explain to you that fiberglass will crack! Veilside, or replica-Dont see the badges, never seen that wing before. IMO add corners on the front bumper and people just wanna talk bad about 19s, they do better than 20s on the track anyway.
