Does anybody know haw much ground clearence i would have on a stock 96 rs with a sfi front bumper on it. you can see the pic on www.visionautodynamics.com.
also did you guys put on your own body kit or did you get it installed somwhere. and does anybody know anything about www.visionautodynamics.com body kits. i got the site out of a mag but i have never heard of it and i don't want to buy a cheap bumper.
 
I saw a guy who bought a CRX kit from them and it was 2 years old and still holding up good here in Ohio. Not sure about that front end, but it will be low and if you drop you car 1.5 inches or 2 inches it will be really low.
Be careful when you pull of the concrete sidwalks in front of stores or inclined driveways.;)

I think the SFI front is an underrated front end. Looks good:thumb:
 
if you car stays at stock height you wont loose much ground clearance by switching those bumpers but if your car is dropped definatly be careful driving, you dont want to spend that much just to crack the fiberglass. my 96 rs is in the dirt almost and the kid i bought it from didnt know how to drive a lowered car, i watch him take it over a parking block then backed up off it, it messed the front bumper up bad, its cracked bad, but when i put a body kit on it ill get adjustable coil overs at the same time. that or i might put the thing on air.
 
I don't know jack about air but it sounds nice. First off if you put a car on air what's the price to do it aprox.? What do you need and how much space does it take up? The main thing i don't like about a lowered car up here in michigan we don't have very good weather all the time plus pot holes 4' deep. I'd have to worry all the time.
 
I would say all sftermarket front bumpers stick out more at the bottom that the stockers, which would make it slightly more difficult to go up parking ramps, but as for clearance, should be stock height
