I scrape my front lip rarely though, Florida is flat as a 8 year olds chest. I honestly don't you have to worry about your side skirts scraping.
That would be my girlfriend. She was all happy after getting a new watch if you zoom in the picture shes probably smiling haha.

Ohhhh, yeah steep inclines like that you have to worry about. I was scared ****less about scraping when I first got my coils. Just drive around right now with your setup until you get comfortable and lower it once you feel your safe. I lowered my IS a few times and finally had the ***** to max out my coilovers after a while.

I have SOME info but not all.
If the fitment had been better I would have just just drilled holes in lip and attached with nuts/bolts but since it didnt. I would rather spend money than deal with the frustration. When i try to be crafty i overdo it.
The guy who installed HAD spoke about heading the splitters to shape them a little and mentioned something about adding extra metal but beyond that......I dont know. If truly interested I could ask him easy enough.
I wanted to make sure it was as secure as could be because while it'd be a minor loss for the splitters, i didnt want to rip up my bumper. I know there are 6 or 7 bolts per side. THe support rods will help but agian I didnt want to just screw into the bumper so I asked him to take off the bumper and have a large washer on the inside of the bumper so that more surface area was under pressure making it less likely to just pull out a screw and/or messing up my bumper. Ideally I would have even gone further and Lot a longer rod and found a place on frame/subframe to mount it.
We will see how it holds. Sexy though!
