The newer pics(top 3/4) make the drop look even better.

An OEM lip kit would probably be about the last suggestion I can make.

Thanks.

I want OEM lip kit but afraid I will loose front lip very fast lol.

I am driving carefully, but if there is hill or slope or curb = no good lol

As the washer trick, I made a custom one myself from a thick metal string and is working well :)

lowered + lip kit, you are bound to scrape......but I guess if you can either find alternate routes to get places, or start parking in more accessible areas, then you're right.

That's what I am try to do now, looking for other more straight roads lol. As for parking I always park far

What about you, did you install your coils yet? Are you gonna get the brackets or do the washer trick?

wait, if you're not going any lower than that then you're totally fine with a lip kit on dude.

I'm lower than that and I barely ever scrape :lawl:

the only thing to remember is to brake and stop completely at speed bumps and let the momentum of the wheels roll you over it.

if you come in too fast and come down after rolling over it it'll come down on the front end at an angle and give you a good smack.

but seriously, you're really in a safe zone with the drop at that height without having to worry about potentially messing up your lip. :D

Ok cool :)

Btw I just checked your latest pics and seems like you have a gap between fender and wheel :lawl:

I am tucking my tire in a bit :hide:

well which fender and wheel, because I'm not tucking in the back but I'm definitely tucking in the front even if the black of the tire doesn't let you see that.

like there's no finger gap in the front, but there's one in the back.

I had to do that to clear the last flange of my exhaust system, because before it was scraping really badly on like everything since it's so low.
