- Tue Feb 07, 2012 8:51 am #293658 Okay guys... lets be realistic. I love my car.. I love my car so much Im not willing to cause damage to my front lip/bumper and my headers and oil pan.
This is my daily driver


Im currently on ebay coilovers all the way down.
I only have 1 adjuster on the rear.

I bounce pretty bad, and I scrape EVERYTHING.

What do you guys think is a good height that still looks sexy, but I can still go over speedbumps and NOT rip off my front lip

- Tue Feb 07, 2012 2:14 pm #293675 lft it up till the fender is about even with the treads on the tire. not tucking tire, but almost. thats how i ride when i dont wanna scrape, but still wanna be low

- Tue Feb 07, 2012 7:06 pm #293726 I'm lower then you with the same lip and I have yet to rip off my front lip and Ive gone air born. Over huge speed bumps and into Steep driveways you just gotta get those extreme angles

EDIT now that I think about it though im prolly not as bouncy as you are.

- Tue Feb 07, 2012 7:39 pm #293742 The streets here in Tucson, AZ are HORRIBLE. With potholes every 50 feet

My headers are about an inch off the ground without anybody in my car. And I always have people in my car :/

I'd go up an inch and see how it looks. An extra inch makes a world of difference in ground clearance!

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

I run full coilovers which I know give me less rebound but still scrap if I'm not careful when going over speed bumps main coz of my centre section on my apexi N1. I'm riding at a hight where I can just get 1 finger between my tire and wheel arch only time I've scrapped my lip is on a curb.

Yea create the illusion that its slammed while riding safe on bigger wheels and wider tires. Its a win win.
