Eibach Pro-Kit Spring worth it?

Ok so here's the deal. Basically I found a set of hardly used Eibach Pro-Kit Springs for my 07 sedan for only 40 bucks. Nothing is wrong with them just a seller on craigslist who has no idea how much they are worth. Now the issue i have is my driveway is a straight shot up and i have to turn in my driveway at a good angle for it to not scrape(I also have HKS mufflers on and it misses by less then an inch). Is it worth it to put these springs on and deal with the scraping everyday up my driveway. I've always thought about lowering the car, but never did cause of that issue but this is such a great deal that I don't know if I should pass it up. Please let me know what you think cause I have been stuck on this since i've gotten the car

You need to consider the added costs of camber arms to get your alignment back to spec and installation as well. Install can run upwards of 200 and the camber arms are about 250 per axle. If you don't do the camber arms you will be burning through tires a bit quicker than normal. From the sound of your driveway situation I might shy away from it.

^ whs, if youre worried that the drop will give you constant headaches and are not ready to put in the additional money to get everything back to spec then dont do it just for looks, imo u should not have told anyone how cheap you got them and could have easily sold these for over a $100 profit...

I would say get them, install them and park on the street. Thats what i do- although, I can get into my driveway when I go in at such an angle, and my driveway is pretty bad, I scraped coming out with stock ride height!

Austin- all thats been taken care of. My friend knows everything about cars and he can do it all. He's got an evo and he helped me do most the stuff ive dont to my car so far.

Kool_yaar-I was thinking about selling them cause i got a 700 dollar speeding ticket i got to pay the 21st haha, but i figured I eventually want to drop it, but I would have to wait till after college.

LaserRed- I would but I live in Atlanta. I dont live in the bad parts of Atlanta but its pretty bad. to many cars being stolen and to many stupid high schoolers who throw eggs at houses or cars. Not taking the risk
