How clearance will my car have with the front lip and sprints??

 

What kind of body kit are you talkin about here? stillen,skyline,sarona?? need some more facts here but i can tell you this much it isn't going to be much, i have the sprints with no body kit and it's a pain all in it's self. Brian

 

you will scrape.. accept it


pulling into driveways and other such places.. angle my friend.. angle..

 

Including those big "sleeping policemen" speed bumps and those concrete parking bump stops...

 

Only one of those have a lip, the others are full bumper replacements

 

i have the stillen front lip, unlowered and i scrape, so yeah, you'll scrape basically.

I scrape on those with no bodykit. If I had one it would be ripped right off by those no questions asked.

When I had my Sprints on, I held the Stillen front lip up to my car and measured. IIRC, there was 5" of clearance left, which seems like a lot, but really isn't at all.

i scrape alot, but that why i got a stillen lip it is very flexible

 

i got this funny japanese kit on my car with sprint springs and i scrape sometimes even when i'm careful. I definitely WILL NOT be getting a front lip unless i go for higher springs.

for u it depends on where u drive. do u have a lot of speed bumps? you have a little hill in your driveway? if u scrape now or almost scrape now, u know what to expect.

 

How exactly does ANGLE help? I am lowered with a lip and I've noticed that angle does help but I can't really pinpoint why it does. Sometimes I just climb on things to help get me past a ditch or something.

 

I had aproximately 5 fingers of clearance between my stillen front lip, and the ground.

 

I have about 3 fingers now scraping is normal... its comforting to hear the polyurethane scrape... its a lot nicer sounding than metal on asphalt scraping the lip is comforting

 

comforting? I get freaked out when hearing that noise. Im about 6" off the ground and occasionally scrape on bad driveways but its still not good to hear it

 

hehe doooood once you hear metal on asphalt jeeez the lip scraping makes you breath a sigh of relief!!! its like daggers to the heart haha

 

I only heard it once when my lower arms scraped on the edge of the road when I had to make an emergency U turn in a messed up country road. it sucked

 

you just have to learn to take driveways and speedbumps at angles.... i do this and very rarely scrape

 

I have sprints and a lip, and I only scraped 3 times. 2 of those were in the same spott(a really steep driveway) It's not as bad as it seems.

 

it all depends on how low you are... when I had my coilovers adjusted sligtly igher I almost never scraped, but now I'll scrape alot if I'm not exTREEEEEMely careful

 

I don't have a driveway where I'm living now, so that shouldn't be a problem. I expect it to scrape, since I already do without the lip. I'll have to be more careful once i put the lip on. Thanks for the info
