Hey guys, I'm interested in buying a front lip or a new front bumper. I have the Eibach Prokit right now, and I was wondering how much front bumper clearance everyone else has. I want to have a kit that looks good, but I need something that is drivable every day. Please list your springs, your bumper/lip, the height the front is off the ground, and the drivability of it. Thanks guys.

Buddy

I've got the CWest front lip, which looks like the car is lowered about an inch in the front. I have the stock suspension for a Touring. I don't have problems with my driveway curb or speedbumps.

I plan on using the front lip as a snowplow this winter...:lmfao:

I have the Veilside V1 lip and havent really came across many problems yet although I do scrape now and then. My car is stock height though

blast... I want the V1 lip, but I'm not sure it + my eibach's is a good idea.

I have the Nex suspension...a bit stiffer than stock. Lowered the car 1.5"...it scraped. .... then brought it back up to 3/4", no scrapes whatsoever. I have a stock front bumper. IS the eibach like 9/16" lowered or something?....I'd think that'd be fine...

(Lower valences, spoilers, lips.....will always find SOMEthing to scrape on....)

Tein Flex suspension lowered 1 inch all four corners...V1 urethane lip molded...about 10" of clearance and have minor abrasions underneath the lip...using extreme caution on unfamiliar streets...

 

[studybuddy]

10" of clearance huh? haha! KShep, I think you're talking about your truck...

 

[dave079]

Heres a few pics my lip. Clearance isnt too bad, but im not dropped at all

 

[lionkiller]

Which lip is that?.....I like it. & I DO like the stock wheels with this (my) color (too!).

 

[dave079]

That is Veliside V1 in eurethane

 

[studybuddy]

Looks beautiful Dave. Really clean. Any plans on changing wheels and lowering it in the future?

 

[dave079]

Yes I want to go with Volk GTC's and do a small drop

 

[studybuddy]

GTC's are nice. My friend has a set and they look better in person than in pictures. You getting silver?

 

[dave079]

Yes definately in silver. Was thinking about gunmetal but have basically decided on silver

 

[cedusett]

Not sure if this helps at all, but my problems after the eibach kit are more geared towards the mud guards. After the spring install, I have about 3 inches between the end of the guard and the ground. I'd imagine the lip would be about the same.

 

[studybuddy]

Do your mud guards scrape at all?

 

[cedusett]

sometimes on hills, just gotta watch it on speed bumps and the like. It's not usually a problem.

 

[studybuddy]

Well, I plan on watching out. As it is now, I drive it like it's an inch off the ground. The whole lip thing isn't looking too promising. I was hoping that the GReddy lip with the Eibach drop wouldn't put me dangerously close, but now that I think more and more about it, it would be much safer for my bumper if I kept it stock.

eibach pro kit and data systems lip... scape here and there but no big deal... its on a backwards slant in this pic... it is about 1-2" lower when level.
