How low is everybodies bumper from the ground? My cousin pointed out today that I couldn't even fit my toes under the bumper let alone my shoe.... so I pulled out a ruler and my shoe so you all can compare.... I'm wondering if my front bumper just sits lower..... there are a few cars on here that I'm sure are lower than me.....

all bumpers are different tho..besides stock..some kits hang lower and some hang higher..so i judge slammed-ness by rim lip:fender ratio

mine was only rubbing on the top so thats the only part i cut. with the height that i am at right now nothing is rubbing. that is until friday

I cut them right before a clip so i could reuse them. I had to add another screw towards the back to make sure it wouldnt sag and run against my tire.

AHHH that piece!! thanks for the heads up! I thought you were talking about the lining itself, my bad bro. yeah hopefully I dont have to worry about fender rolling/pulling just yet but i have a feeling when i go a little lower on the front for me to turn completely some rolling/pulling will be needed.

ugh i just hate seeing all your guys cars with wheels and i have ugly sunken in stockies

UPTWN i couldnt get in and out of my place if my bumper was that low haha

my stock bodywork sits about 100mm from the ground, so 4 times as high as yours! i am tucking tyre all round but would like to go lower. but i could probably only go down another 10mm or so before id hit my driveway kerb :P i think i will go that bit lower when i can be bothered though cuase ive decided i cbf getting a kit for this car
