With a 2" drop, you really should get caster camber plates along with new shocks and struts

wow...

take your time when posting... its so hard to read what you are trying to say...

2" is low

so you need new shocks/ struts and camber plates...

there is nothing you can do about scraping... so get used to it...

what were the spring rates? just because ebay ad says they drop your car 2" doesn't mean that they're correct springs for your application.

2" is way too low. I'd start with a set of H&R sport or Steeda sport springs, then add Maximum Motorsports Caster Camber plates and Tokico or Bilstein struts and shocks. That'll keep the car from scraping (except over speed bumps... can't get away from that if you hit em fast) and it'll handle a lot better. You will always scrape on something somewhere so it becomes your responsibility to be a cautious driver and avoid things with large dips or bumps.

Enjoy.
