It depends on how low you have or plan on haveing your car. With most any kit even add on lips you will end up being more careful otherwise youll definately hit something.

Well if your going to keep it stock height(please lower) than you really shouldn't have any major issues but you still need to adjust to haveing it their and whats on the road and how you park, most people adjust quickly like a week or so. good luck to you, it looks like we are going to be seeing a lot of these kits soon

Unfortunately its that way with most products ordered from Japan but I think it would be worth it. Its a nice kit. I also agree with Bluelex, I would drop it.

The JP kit is worth the wait, and the price. If you arent lowered you shouldnt have a problem. Just try to drive a little more careful over bumps and driveways. If it is too steep then you can take it at an angle to minimize the suspension travel

That year wait will not happen with Steve. That isn't even JP's problem. It was a previous vendor...

Guys, i ordered my JP spoiler from that **** JOHN back in June 2004.. I still havent gotten my damm spoiler!!! I gave up and requested my money refund from him. He told me he dont have the money right now. Its been 3 months now since i last talked to john. Havent heard a word from him. I dont think you guys will encounter any problems if you guys get JP items directly from Steve at Carson Toyota.
