Im on Sprints(rear cut 1.5 coils) with a one finger gap all around and my front lip only hits on extremely steep driveways or inclines. Otherwise i never hit, rubbing i do alot but its on the bottom of the lip so you never see those scratches Just be very careful and aware of roads you drive on and where your pulling into. When i bring my car in for service i just pop the lip off so my car will clear the lifts. I mean ive accidentially hit those parking curb things a few times and needed to re-spray the lip ($70 a pop) but i learned quick and now i avoid those things, hehe. As far as the sides and rear, they never come close to hitting anything.

hope that helps!

IMO it depends on the rim and tire size as well....

rims size wont matter that much when your dropped 2 inches. When im on my 18's(summer rims) my lip still rubs and now that im on 15's(sawblades) for the winter i have to worry about snowplowing when it snows 3 inches or more, lol thats wehy if i know its gonna snow alot ill just pop the lip off until the snow is cleared then pop it back on. Its only 2screws were talkin

thanks Ant! I was worried about bein dropped this low having the stillen kit... How long does it take you to pop the lip off? There's no way Ill clear the service ramps with the kit, as i barely do now.

Between 4 and 5 fingers off the ground on sprints too. I've scraped my rear before but that was only once and a real poorly designed driveway...
