H&R's + Lipkit Any issues?

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you guys on H&R's or any other springs have issues with speed bumps and scraping, im dropped on H&R's and planning on a getting a stillen lip kit, yet the parking lot where i park my car has a speed bump at the entrance that isnt avoidable lol, it's not very bit but how much does the stillen kit add to the bottem of the car?

thanks guys!

Ah haha, something I took into consideration too! Since my school, decided to go OVERBOARD with speed bumps and put it from the road going to the school all the way into the parking lots. But the stillen kits are the more subtle kits of the two I know, which is the Ionic body it, and the Stillen. But since you have lower springs, with the Ionic it would surely be tough around those high speed bumps, but with the Stillen I am sure you can make it over no problem as long as you go slow

But you should wait for the guys with the body kits installed to get a more detailed response I measured the two kits to get a rough estimate of how low my car will be, but its stock and so......................

Of course your driving habits will have to change if you lower your car's ride height and lower the body with ground effects. Deal with it. It's the price you have to pay for this combo of mods.

I have H&R's with the stillen kit. My driving habits did change, as ptatohed said. I am cautious over speed bumps, but rarely scrape. The biggest thing I worry about is whether I pull too far into a parking spot and hit the curb. But, the solution, back in wherever possible. I also take driveways at more of an angle to be sure I don't scrape.

But really, this combo isn't as low as others and you shouldn't have much trouble with it.
