Those with a kit front bumper esp. the Blitz Front bumper and 225 18" 40 series tires.
1. How much did you decide to lower your car ?
2. What kind of ground clearance are you now traveling with ?
pics would help.

Thanx for the replys
 
Check out my gallery or my cardomain website at www.cardomain.com/id/4g63gst as for specific measuerments of ground clearance and exactly how much I lowered it I couldn't tell you. I found that the front bumper wasn't, at least in my case, the biggest problem, you can take different obstacles at different angles to avoid scrapping, but speed bumps will reak havoc on your side skirts, at least if they are as low as mine are.
 
Same, check my gallery for pics, I lowered the car 2 inches. I don't care about scraping the front, I worry about catching the back and ripping that off as I have once, just be careful when you're driving.
 
Mine is low as f#ck im tucking 14's. and that's with no interior and the engine isnt in yet either. My sides and rear are molded, i can't wait till they get ripped off... then im going to do something crazy and wide... :D
i think airbags would be a good bet for people who want it low, like i do, but dont want to lose your kit on a driveway. i'm just too poor to afford them right now. :(

im going to guess its been lowered 2.75" when the interior and motor is in, 3.25, the struts are blown, and the rear sits three inches from the ground (blitz rear, under diffuser im measuring.) the sideskirts are prolly 3 or 4 inches off the ground, but this is just a rolling chassis at this point due to construction, so i will take exact measurements when the car is put together in the spring.
 
when i bought the car it came with what i feel is no less than a 2" drop, but not with coil overs. so im kinda worried because i need a front bumper and want a urethane one. but from reading your posts' and looking at your pics' i think i should be all right.

any other input will help
thanx
