My roads are pretty normal in my town with the ocassional speed bump and dips into drive ways. Im putting on the Eibach pros which i think drop it 1.7inches, i already have Tokico adjustable struts. I am eventually going with the Mazdaspeed GT-C front end. It seems to come pretty close to the ground even on a stock suspension setup. Will I scraping all over the place if with this setup?

When I had the Ground Control/Koni/Eibach setup:

Front Bumper Clearance: 4.75"

Side Skirt Clearance: 4.75"

Ground to top of wheel well (front): 26"

Ground to top of wheel well (rear): 26"

Before the kit and w/ stock rims/tires, I had a Ground to top of wheel well clearance of 25".

Haven't remeasured since I've swapped the suspension out for the Penske/Eibach combo.

Oh....tires/wheels during above measurement are 18x8.5 w/ 245/40-18 fronts and 18x10.0 w/ 275/35-18 rears.
