How long can I safely drive without one?

You might want to trim the bump stops if you hit them that often or raise the car.

How long was that one on your car? I've been running mine for 6 years now, CSK/Hyperco, with no issue.

It looks like it's repetitively been bottomed out. You'll need to raise your car some.

You would be well served by doing the zip tie test to see how far you are bottoming out the car.

Oh, and if you are constantly bottoming out, I wouldn't drive without one as you could blow your struts pretty quickly.

If he needs to raise the car some, Prettywhite will need to buy a set of Hyperco springs. Which would be more comfortable than the Road Magnets (only other viable option).

Friendly guy, reasonable information I suppose.
*Note: Both types of Eibach springs for the B13 have been discontinued, they are no longer in production.

Prettywhite, remind me which Eibachs are on your vehicle, IIRC it is the Pro Kits?

Which end of the vehicle did that Koni come off of?

With the CSK's and Pro Kits you *should* have only lost 0.2" of travel, and increased the spring rate a bit (20-25%) over the stock spring rate.
