you will absolutely have to modify the pipe that goes under the k-member up to the top of the engine. basically put a little sideways S to get the pipe up immediately after the K.

rear you may need to trim and adjust a smidge.

Talk to Rick@Synergy about it. (sponser - click banner on right for contact info)

He is a STS dealer and has coil overs and his car is on the ground.

How come no one answered his question? I'm also considering a pro kit but not sure if it will do well with the STS kit.

I have DMS lowering springs, stock shocks, FLP long tubes and the STS kit. I scrape on steep inclines/declines as well as speedbumps.

So basically you will be scrapping a lot without modifying the kit. Stock springs with good shocks would fix it though. My .02

How about an Eibach prokit? How would that hold up with the STS? I just got me some 19 inch rims. They look sweet but they reveal how bad my fender gap is. So I would really like the pro kit but not if it will damage the STS kit.
