Springs

Anyone have any adverse affects after lowering their WS6 car? I'm afraid the front tires might rub on the fender wells.

You will have LESS instance of fender rub with them. The Eibach pro-kit springs I installed are much stiffer than the original RS springs or the springs in my Iroc-Z.

I added a set of Eibach sportlines with about a 1 1/2" rear drop and a 2" front drop.I'm rolling on a set of 17" x 9" wheels with 275/40's and don't have any problem with rubbing the splash shield.

Dont you have a BIG problem with wanting to tear your ground effects off when you go out of a place with a steep drive?

Yeah. That's the only problem. But I try to avoid the steep drives if I can. If you can't avoid a steep drive or dip, just go slow and take it at a big angle.
