when i had the greddy front lip, it was so low that after driving into my driveway and scraping so many times, this is what happened to it:


And now that my car is even lower, i'm scraping my exhaust, pipes and tom's brace......makes me want to raise my car up but love my new stance too much.....maybe it's time for air.....

This is why I have no interest in getting a front lip or bigger exhaust tips. Under the front bumper definitely has scrapes which came before I lowered the car.

wow, you guys are nuts.

i'm glad i'm only lowered moderately. i have minimal scraping on my TTE lip and NO scraping at all with my Tanabe TM. Gotta luv those oval cans

The EDFC helps ALOT. When its on F = 0/R = 0, there is basically no rebound and limited scraping. I've tested the EDFC by putting it on F = 16/R = 16 [softest extreme] on the same dips/speed bumps/driveways and rebound is much more pronounced and prone to scraping.

But with peops in my ride I scrape my front lip and undercarriage alot more.

my front underbody is about to come off...I still don't think I'm low enough. Anyone have anything besides oem front section underbody? I'm talking about the splash guard for the engine.

I find the bolts get ripped apart and things starts to sag...ugh., the price u pay. I'm thinking a flat metal/aluminum sheet would take care of it..but damn pricey.
