Anyone?? I thought that is would be a common mod for us RS owners... my car looks like a rally car right now with about 2" gap between tire and car... OUCH*

I don't know what the drop is really, as I'm on coilovers. The tires are smaller than stock as well. I didn't measure how high the kit is off the ground but the shoes are Lugz, if that helps. :shrug:

Do you guys have problems scraping the ground with your cars that low? Espcially EBUCKS, it looks like your bumper is almost touching the ground! I'm thinking about getting coilover or lowering springs but I don't want to scrape every time I go up a driveway.

I have to go up my driveway sideways, and I have to be careful @ speedbumps. Sucks, but you pay for it, cause you want it, and you pay for it.

Yup you have to learn how to drive differently. Been on 3 wheels a lot. :shrug:
I have a new kit now so hopefully it's not so bad.
After seeing the 2 holes in my last front bumper from driving with it half a season, I'm going to try to design a "splitter", for protection purposes, made out of .105" thick sheet metel. It may be too heavy though, but I'll see.<p>one
