I had taken these vids in September and just forgot about them until now.

I still need to get some high speed rolling shots done.

How bad do you scrape going over speed bumps? They are putting speed bumps in all the neighborhoods around here and they are killing me. I will be adjusting the car up some more because of it.

I don't, but I always approach at an angle. The height of the lip and side skirts are just about the same as the OEM. Front lip juts out just a little more. I just go reaaaaaly slowly over them being 2 inches lower than stock.

My front drop was 2" and I was running 245-35's on the front. That equated to a 2.5" drop which meant I was scraping everything :)

I'm now on 245-40's and have adjusted the suspension 1/2" higher. This equates to slightly less than a 1" raise (1/2" from the coilover adjustment and almost 1/2" from the tire change) which means I'm back to a 1.5" overall drop. Thus far no issues but I am not driving it much right now until I get my Eibach front and rear camber kits in and installed.

Ahh ok. I'm hoping to get coilovers once they are released for the vert.
