ok so i have an 03 svtf and it has the eibach springs and stuff so i think its 2 inches lower than normal svt ride height. i bought the car like this so i dont know the actual specs of the ride height before i know they are eibach sportline springs and the strut is eibach to. i need to tow my car and need to know if i can use a car trailer? or if i need to use a tow truck can i use a normal tow turck or does it need to be a flat bed tow truck? thanks for the help

Well if you think the rear is going to rub the ground at about 45 degrees (Or you can use a compass if you're not sure) then a normal tow truck probably wouldn't be a good idea.
I would use the flat bed, cause they will hook the cable up to the tow mounts under your front bumper (which you might want to remove the lip b4 hand) and pull it right on up there.
Or you could remove the rear bumper and use the trailer. I don't think it would rub.....too much

I recommend a flat bed or a trailer that puts all four tires up on it. The normal tow will definitely scrub the back ... I know it happened to me. I told the tow truck guy to stop and I called a flat bed tow driver. .... And I have the ProKit Eibach ... a bit higher than your SportLines.

I've also got an '03 SVT with Eibachs. Whenever I had my car towed, I used a flatbed. Why risk it?
I had my SVT towed once on a flatbed, on stock supension my front lip scraped just slightly when he was pulling it up the ramp, good thing it flexes. My only one towing experience anyway.
