Going Sportlines, any tips?

I was looking on TTR's website, and they recommend that if i buy and install the sportline springs to have rack spacers, is it really necessary? and have you guys had any rubbing issues from lock to lock? as well, i was wondering what the maximum speed bump i can go over is xD (there are speed bumps on the way to my school)

Thanks,
Xavier

Save your money and buy Pedders. I've owned both and the Pedders are significantly better. I believe TTR has a sale on them right now. Regardless, both Sportlines and Pedders are fine over speed bumps...just like any lowered car, go slow and at an angle if you don't want to hear the wind deflector scrape...

As far as spacers go, they are recommended with lowering springs to reduce bump-steer. You'll need rotated mounts to run the appropriate rack spacers, afaik.

what kind of drop did you get from stock? their site says that it only gives 1" in the front and 1.5". does it seem like it is more?
