Title: who's chin front spoiler is closest to the assphelt :)
Post by: Britman on 19 October 2007, 17:16

mines only 3 inches of the ground,

what are yours if you get the time to measure it

mines ok on roads dont bottom out scrape, but on speed bumps its a no no must take at 10 mph max and hold up traffic but i avoid them anyway and must take them only 1 wheel going over them not whole car or id hav eno gearbox by now :rolleyes:

not sure how much mines lowered must be 70mm  at least if 3 inches of ground

its to low tbh as gearbox is a tad close to the road so dont take speed bumps on that side

MINES Too low clears speed bumps slowly but scrapes on most alough  some are fine its the small square ones that are the prob and the one where they put em in the middle of the road, butsome are half the height so ok, i cannot park on kerbs but can still get over bumps with a better angle as some say have 35% slope but some are ridiculous steep so catch

Mines about 4 inches with standard front splitter back on, when it had the VR6 splitter on like the sig pic it wouldn't go over anything higher than grass cuttings or ants
