Default Wald lip owners with coilovers

How often do you scrape? I'm getting my front lip painted at the moment and I want a set of coilovers.

This car will be used as my daily but I really want a nice stance while not scraping. I can't wait to get the wald front lip on my car

All the dam time!!!! Haha jk... Kinda.

I'm pretty low, and my rims are more aggressive than my stance I guess you could say... I'm low for my wheel setup, hence my tires rub before my lip. My lip takes less abuse than my fenders

It depends on how low you wanna go and how careful you drive. Also your wheel size.

+1....Its all subjective to where you live,work and play. If I didnt have such a steep curb to the driveway of my house, Id be lowered to no gap. but unfortunatly the curb into my driveway is holding me back from lowering my car even more, and I have the Se Tuned lip kit (litterly 1/8" from scraping).I am now debating on re installing my gfx front lip so I can go even lower.

I'm not on coilovers but lowered 1.4 inches with the Wald lip on stock wheels. On a regular day, I always scrape at least one whether it's a parking lot exit, ally exit, or speed bumps.

I'm dropped about 2 inches front and 2.25 inches rear with Tein SS coils and I do not scrape at all with the wald rep front.
I live in the worst area as well (626) and we have the worst pot holes, driveways, speed bumps.
I did scrape for the first two weeks. But you start finding the sweet spots and what I do is block the hell out of everyone and angel going in and out of the driveway. If i know for sure I wont make it, whether its too high or it has no space for you to properly angle it, then I would just curb park and walk further!
