Hey Guys, time for my next mod, i try nd not waste to much time in between otherwise I get bored lolll So I just ordered H&R Sport Springs yest. My issue is with my lip, the lowest point which is the center of the bumper, I am already 4 inches from the ground and now with the drop I'll be around 2.5 inches from the ground. How low is everyone else sitting?

Here are some pics when I am getting out of my garage. Literally the lowest point when pulling out, I can just manage to fit a penny underneath

FWIW, I lowered my 530 3.5" yesterday on coilovers and plan on dropping it alittle more when the suspension settles. I'll post pics when I get a chance to snap some. The car looks great and rides nice, if you know how to drive a lowered car, riding low isnt usually a problem.

This is mine. 1.5 finger gap front 2 fingers gap in rear from fender to tires.
No rubbing at all and I drive normally on bad roads and speed bumps.

That won't help you with everyday driving. You will not be able to go over even a speed bump. p.s. - I love the ride height of H&R sports. I can't imagine going lower.
