i have eibach's prokit. my tunnel mounted torque arm scrapes (the tunnel brace part). i avoid large bumps and very uneven roads. if i had the tranny mounted torque arm i'd have absolutely no problems.
I have BMR springs and my 4" catback and intercooler scoop scrape from time to time. I have shorty headers, so that's not a problem. I try to avoid crappy roads, speedbumps, and tracks also. I usually just take it easy and try to hit them from an angle if possible.

mine is lowered to about 1.5inch, and if i dont take speed bumps on an angle i scrape the ORY and headers.
I wont go back to stock tho, i'll just be more carfule and try to avoid bumps.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit, and I scrape depending on the bumps. I actually scrape less with my current exhaust setup over the old one, but I have to be careful on certian speed bumps. It mainly scrapes on the little gutters on the sides of driveways in the city. Other than that, it's good.

The Eibach Prokit is only 1.3" drop. The Eibach Sportline kit is a 2.0" drop. If you want power, then 1.3" is probably your limit due to headers/etc... If you just want appearance mods on a stock car, the 2.0 is fine.
Some RR tracks and bumps are so bad that you're going to scrape no matter what. Mine isn't lowered at all and it happens to me all the time.
