Im directing this question towards LA/Orange County drivers. How has your experience been with lowering springs? Is there excessive scraping or is about the same as stock? My shocks will go on soon and I need to decide whether to stay with stock springs or get a set of Eibachs.

You will still scrap from time to time, but its not nearly as much as the eibachs.. I would totally suggest them, IMO its low enough to look good and high enough to clear alot of things.
You can always cut the springs and go that route if they still are in good shape... I have a few friends that have done it and you cant tell the difference.

I got Eibach springs on mine, its low rides like ****, and it scrapes on stuff too, but DAMN does it look good. I will never take them off, BUT my car is a weekend car and I drive it maybe once every other weekend if that.
If its a dd I would'nt lower it, but if its a weekend car I say do it. BTW dont cut your springs, springs are designed with certain spring rate when you cut them you are tampering with the design and you will have a **** for ride and possibly less handling, just my 2 cents.

They look good too, I've seen a few cars with that kit but I just wanted mine just a little lower, my kit is pretty impractical come to think of it. I've scrapped pretty bad on speed bumps with no one in the car, but I also know the roads I drive too so that helps. Yeah I would'nt go that low if its a dd for sure
