Default I give up on GReddy Lips...

...just broke my second GReddy lip last night. I was on a very uneven parking lot and I guess it caught part of a concrete panel and ripped off.

So now I'm weighing my options, but I want to stay with urethane. How is the ground/ramp clearance on a L-sportline front bumper compared to a GReddy?

Maybe the TTE lip would be a a better choice.. I don't think its as low as the Greddy?

Well the clearance really depends on your suspension. On my L-Sportline I don't ever rub and I am droppped with L-Tuned s/s.

If you look at my pic, the L-Sportline bumper angles up for better clearence. Even on coilovers, I hardly scrape. Just on steep driveways...

I'm on my 2nd GReddy lip, and I have a 3rd one in case this one snaps in half (the one I have on right now is already cracked, around the foglights.)

Greddy lip sits pretty low right? You will either have to go to a new bumper/lip or raise the car. I wouldnt want to replace the lip every few months and I wouldnt want to have to raise the car either
