Springs
#2
I had the Eibach pro kit in my 01' no problems until I put long tubes and an ORY in. Pretty sure it's a 1.25" drop? The car looked great but I'd rathar have the performance than looks and the Y pipe just hung too low with the springs on the car so I went back to the stock ones. As long as you plan to keep the stock exhaust on the car you won't have any problems scraping.
Here's with the Eibach springs:

I have them, and I love them. The only problem I ran into was after I had a new catted y-pipe installed, it scraped on EVERYTHING! So I put the stock rear springs back on and that helped.
I don't know how they re-pave roads in Marlyand, but in Houston (and much of Texas), they tend to put a new layer of asphault or blacktop on the road with a more pronounced crown (the road is higher in the middle for drainage purposes). They neglect to do anything with the driveways, so you end up with a sharper angle between where the roadside ends and driveways begin. The result: SCRAPE!
I rarely scraped my stock y-pipe on anything. If I did, it was either a serious speed bump or I took it too fast. Even when I did, it was more of a "kiss" than a scrape.
