I can get some very cheap Eibach Sportlines/Stock Shock. I have the Kombat body kit. Would it be feasible to drive the lude lowered with the sportlines? My main concern is the bumper clearance.

 

if it's a fiberglass body kit and u slam ur car it WILL break horribly on the first pothole or steep driveway u come across

 

i have that kit and a 2 inch drop. its low but it doesnt scrape on EVERYTHING. watch out for those driveways, for sure. IMO most body kits look even worse at stock height. lower it!

 

I've got the combat front with drift sides and drift rear.. I'm also lowered on Neuspeed Sport springs (1.5" front, 1.75" back) and running KYB AGX shocks. It's pretty low, and I do scrape quite a bit. I wouldn't believe what people say when they exagerate the construction of fiberglass kits. They won't 'explode' like people say or whatever. I've scraped plenty of time and even on close observation, my bumper is perfectly fine.

Just becareful of where you drive and watch for pot-holes/speedbumps and you'll be fine.

 

yup, i had the combat kit. had only 3 inches of clearance. mostly gotta watch out for steep driveways. youll scrape on some stuff but dont worry, as said before its more durable than people think.

lol guys u think fiberglass bodykits are durable? one day your bodykit shall meet its inevitable fate. whether it be a pothole, curb or simply a car with a trailer hatch and an old man @ the wheel, your day shall come.

 

mine scrapes a hell of a lot. but you cant see any damage. they do bend...a little.

 

That's why the bottom lip of my ViS Octane (R34) Front Bumper I've re-enforced on the inside using 1/16th sheetmetal and it's popriveted in and the front lip in the most suseptible (sp?) places to cracking have been fiberglassed over along with the bottom lip. I'm on stock suspension but will soon be going with KYB GR-2's along with Tein S. Techs. I don't scrape anything.

 

I had the extreme front and rear with Kombat sides..lowered to HELL on 17''s. I scraped alot..and when I mean ALOT..i mean ALOT. but then I looked under and after all those scrapes, the layers were fading and I could see through the fiberglass. It took for me to hit a racoon for my bumper to break. and only the front lip piece came off, because I was going like 80 MPH. On the 17's I had about 1 1/2 to 2 inches clearance. and then when I put 19's I had around 3-4 inches clearance...So I can say that fiberglass can go through it's fair share of abuse before it starts showing. unless you hit an animal like I did.
