My Rabbit's oil pan is 4" off the ground (coilovers) and I've had no real issue. But it's got insane approach/departure angles. The Probe's air dam hung down about the same amount (before I changed it) and would scrape quite regularly, especially when driving straight up ramps.

My advice: buy the coilovers, lower the thing 2" or more. Get a larger air dam (and a few spares). You can get away with a lot if you learn to drive up and down ramps at an angle for more clearance.

Go on YouTube for videos of lowered cars driving around and you'll see some of the stuff you might encounter. For the dedicated it's a challenge. For the casual it's a hindrance. Under 3 or 4 inches you start getting into trouble, and less than that, you are either insanely dedicated or on air ride.
