    depends on what size tires you have.

      while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

        yea no scraping. Dont worry about it. Mines dropped about 2 inches and i have a kit and it barely scrapes.

            Anyways, I wouldn't trust the "Dropzone" springs on ebay. For ~100 bucks brand new, you get what you pay for.

                it also depends where you live, if you live where there is bumpy ass ****ty roads, then yeah it will prolly scrape, mine does, if you have nice flat, highly groomed roads, then maybe the ocasional scrape is gonna happen.

                  Agreed. I saw those Dropzone springs before on ebay. Looks pretty scetchy to me. I'd stick with Eibach, Tien, or Mazdaspeed. But hey, thats just me. I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road with my front end "pancaked" to the ground. (yes, Ive seen it.)

                    Agreed.
                    You're dealing with a $15000 piece of metal and electronics.. you don't really want it horribly screwing up on you
                    stick with quality parts.
