I lowered my DA 1.5 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear with some Eibach Pro-kit springs and some new KYB GR-2 struts and it touches those 4 inch tall, small speed bumps! so, if you lower your car, it is going to scrape bumps.

your shocks will have big factor in it to..i love my 4door i went with dropZone struts and ebay springs and i love it..for a tighter steering wheel meaning so you dont feel all the bumps and shit replace your loerwer controll are bushings and sway bar bushings with energysus. one you will feel so much better
