That's pretty low. I recommend you slide under there and take a look at your exhaust hangers. You'll probably find that a couple have broken and that's why your exhaust scrapes on everything.

Eibachs aren't that much of a drop from stock. Our cars are inherently low from the factory. The stock jack works well.

It's tough to tell from that picture, or any picture for that matter. I'll look under my car tonight when I get home. I have the eibach springs as well. These springs only drop the car .75". I don't have a problem with scraping the ground unless I go over a very large speed bump. I can't get a standard floor jack under my car unless I drive it up on blocks, or use the factory POS jack to lift one side of the car in order to allow enough room to slide a jack under the car. Do not slide under the car using only the factory jack! I figured you knew that, but it can't hurt to tell you anyway.
