Default How much of a drop does the Wings West kit give?

I need to replace the bumpers so i'm gonna get a WW Kit.. but my car is already lowered so i was wondering how much does a WW kit lower your car? Thank you.

makes a fairly big diff. I would say overall it takes it down about 2" total, maybe a little more on the front. But its not a huge drop. if your cars lowered already you may scrape on speedbumps and steep inclines.

it doesnt lower wheel gap at all...jsut the bumpers go closer, obv it wont lower wheel gap, so if u dont have ur suspension lowered, ur wheels, be stock 14s or whatever, will look higher, at least mine did

My car is sort of low.


In a year and a half I've hit my bumper ONE time. I had 205/40/16s at the time so it was significantly lower..I did it going into a VERY steep driveway.

With a bodykit on a lowered car you learn to take every driveway/incline sideways. You also start to hate driving on the interstate because you will collect countless rock nicks on your front bumper. Small prices to pay if you ask me.

im lowered 2.25 inches w/ the ww kit on 15" gsrs 195/50/15. it does lower the body a bit but like they said you learn to deal w/ it.

i just avoid speed bumps as much as possible. the only prob i have is figurin out what to do w/ the exhaust cause i had to lower it a lil bit since the rear bumper is lower. the muffler hangs down waaaaay too low.

i need to get some pics
