?Probs with the Eibach Pro Kit P5?

I was wondering if anyone who installed the Eibach Pro Kit on their Pro 5 has had any problems with daily driving situations, such as going up curbs, bumping curb stops etc. I really want to get the kit for stylin purposes, but since my car is a daily driver in New Orleans (pot hole capital of the world) i am skeptical of the wear and tear it may cause. Also how does it affect the wonderful suspension that came on the Pro 5 orginally, I would really hate to ruin that.

I put the Eibachs on my P5 a few months ago and haven't had any problems other than little scraps on parking stops here and there. The stock struts may not last as long with shorter springs though, so consider the MS struts at the same time. The two work really great together, and handling is much improved.

The springs will only lower your car an 1" to 1-1/2" so as far as stylin goes, you'll have to look close to notice.

No adverse affects to my P5 when I installed the Pro kit. I kept the stock shocks, and the ride quality is just as smooth as factory. The drop is minimal at 1", so it shouldn't be that bad.
