Full size one or shorty for clearance? I've had my rad cracked twice already Intercooler's still standing up, it's damn tough. First time by myself going into a car wash that had a dip with a grate and drain. Second time by a Ford sales rep who took it to the used lot to get it appraised. They fixed it, but you have to be careful and take every kind of driveway entrance or whatever at a 45ş angle. Maybe things aren't quite as mickey mouse in the states as they are here in Alberta, Canada.

i ordered the smaller size because its the only size they had right now. i probably woulda got it anyways just because id be worried about messin it up when i go back home to virginia. i scrape sometimes pullin into alotta parkin lots back home even when i go at a 45 degree angle. i wanna put springs on my car to but i cant.

Haha.. ya, that sounds familiar. Another guy here in my town actually put pedders or something on his and it rides low, yet he hasn't scraped a damn thing. I really don't get it.. makes me think the geometry or something is better if it's lowered, and less prone to scraping but it really doesn't make any sense. Honestly didn't think 1/8" would do this, but I guess we have alot of shitty parking lots n whatnot here as well. Hell, even the roads, I'm always scanning for potholes, and "volcano eruptions" on the road. There was an eruption not 2 blocks from my house that they just cut off a couple months ago, it was up to damn near 8" and this was on the main street of our city!

I can second this. Our roads are actually sinking every year, along with pretty much all the land in our state.

You'll be fine with springs. Coilovers too, just depends where you drive.
