you should be fine on a moderate drop but i would get those fenders rolled anyways depending on if you know how to drive without messing up fenders. as for how low... i have 0 finger gap all around and its my DD

I just wish it wasn't on my bday/easter weekend :/ He comes around on a semi-often basis right?

Thanks for the headsup btw I wasn't aware of how big of an effect it has, in a good way.

I'm dropped 3 inches and I don't scape at all. -_- hopefully you aren't just bull dozing through the plaza inclines like its a corolla righttttt

P.S my s2000 was dropped to the ground (lip was 1.5 inches off the ground) and I scraped only on crazy sloping inclines. Just be careful going up inclines that about it. Mind you my commute was about 40 miles round trip so its not just a stroll down the street and back. Oh and it was usually the frame and mudflap thingies that were scraping not the actual lip.


To OP, a one inch drop should be fine with that set up. But rolling your fenders isn't a hard job, nor is it a crazy expensive one. I think the pros out weigh the cons so you should just roll them and slam!

tkeyyy

^ i dropped more than an inch on just springs and i don't really scrape, just gotta manuever your car to prevent it.

Just picked up some skunk2 springs off the forums for a sweet price. Wheels will come later next month.

It says they're about a 1.8" drop. On stock wheels / tires I should be fine right? I mean of course being lower I'm going to have to be more careful with speed bumps and inclines, but I think that's a given.

same, if you're dropped 1 inch and hitting everything than you don't know how to drive a lowered car. I'm about 2 inches off the ground in front (apr bumper) and rarely touch the bumper, its the frame that hits and I can get stuck on if I'm not really careful! Get a roll to be on the safe side! et48 isn't bad at all though, should be fine.

With your wheel and tire combo you should be fine with your drop. No need to roll fenders. I'm dropped about 1.5" all around on Bilsteins and in SF I am careful as can be. My frame has taken a beating from ridiculous driveways and parking garages. At one point I was dropped a lil over 2 inches and my front bumper didn't like it at all.

Awesome, thanks for the input guys. Glad to know on the stockies I should be good until I go the route I'm planning for, which at that point I'll definitely be getting a roll and light flare. I'm pretty sure I can handle being a little more careful ;D

Edit: If a 1.5" drop can handle SF, I'm pretty sure a 1.8" can handle anything else LOL. That place is incline central
