Quick question about springs

Hi, right now I have Intrax lowering springs that lower my car 1.75". I've had them for almost a year now. The car is kind of low for Vermont driving, especially for the snow in the winter. I scrape quite a few times. I was wondering if the Eibach springs that lower the car 1.2" would make much of a difference in the height. I know that it doesnt sound like much of a height difference, but I was just curious as to what you all thought. I'm not sure if I should waste more time and money in getting different springs. Thank You!!!

I very rarely scrape with my eibachs. If i do it's because i'm going too fast or doing something stupid. The roads here in the philly area are pretty bad too. I contemplated intrax but i think .5" is a BIG difference in this situation....

it should help a bit. . . it'll ride better also. the only thing i don't like about the eibach is the progressive spring handleing. people say it's the best but it feels sorta sloppy to me. i have ST's and i like how it's a direct feeling. . . . you don't have to take up the softer part of the spring. . . .

well look at it this way..you're getting a extra .5 inch. now whatever you're scraping is scraping more than .5 then you're going to scrape w/ the eibach also. so figure out what's hitting it and decide from there.
