if you guys are scraping at stock height, your not driving right. slow down and hit bumps or inclines on an angle and you'll never scrape. I'm 2.5-3 inches off the ground and i can go over a full size speed bump and not scrape at all.

I mainly only scrape on steep downward inclines. Speed bumps aren't an issue

Im also thinking on dropping mine... BUT roads in north jersey are horrible after the winter. Besides, i the series blue sti body kit makes the car look a big lower than regular model (but thats just me).
Either way im considering the tein coilovers street basic, i read many good reviews about them. |

Are you saying you could drive over these inclines without a scrape, or that such task is impossible regardless of the lowering of the car? |

I plan on getting Eibach Sportlines with 20/25mm spacers in about a month.
@adamg is right. I don't scrape the front of my car often. Speed bumps and inclines I slow down a lot and take them at an angle and I'm fine.

I'm lowered about 33mm (1.3") on ST coilovers and scrape sometimes but the STI rubber skirt (from japanparts.com) I attached to the underside of my lip takes all the damage.
