With the Five Axis Aero kit and without any lowering, i had a few issues clearing speed bumps and ramps if I didn't go at an angle... but once i got my 18" wheels in, it's rarely a problem now. Let's just say, coming from driving an SUV, it was a quick but painful learning experience for me.

My Eibach Sportlines dropped mine 1.4" and I haven't had any problems with any speed bumps. Granted I drove a Civic that was maybe 2.5" off the road for years so I'm used to always taking them at an angle.

I haven't had any issues with speedbumps. Dips and driveways are worse for some reason. Also parking stops.

Yep, agreed. Bumps aren't too harsh and doesn't scrape anything.. Dips, however, ARE pretty harsh for the underside of the front bumper when it scrapes

I think it's because although the length of the nose in front of the wheels is pretty short overall, the bottom lip of the bumper juts out pretty far. So while it's not very low in stock form, at angles it reaches down pretty far in front of the wheels.

I'm about to purchase the Eibach Sportlines too and am freaking out.... I don't know if I should stick with it, get the pro-line and just drop 1" or none at all. Any opinions?

More like, " f*** up my ride and bend my exhaust bumps"

Squishy86 · 03-04-2014, 10:54 PM
