EK Hatchback CTR front lip - Size Q
<FONT COLOR="blue">I plan on getting the EK CTR Lips for my hatch soon as I can afford em.
Prob is my car is very low as is, and I encounter speed ramps on a daily basis aswell as needing to be able to get into my driveway-both of those are currently done at a crawl in 1st gear.
So what im wondering if any1 can tell me is how much lower the front bumper is with the lip on it??
My car is as in Pic below, a '96 Hatch.
Springs will soon be changed for H&R Race which shud drop my car 2.5 front and 2.3 rear which is basicly what it is now, just its on the lower perch of the Koni's instead with APex springs.
Currently u can barely fit a normal pen standing under the front of the front bumper,&it wont fit under at the sides of the front bumper.
Also, wheres good to buy these lips that wud ship to Ireland?

I have the CTR lip, although I don't know the exact size, I estimate it to add around 1 - 2 inches to the height of the front bumper. With a 2 inch plus drop I'm pretty sure you're gonna scrape the speed bumps and/or your driveway. I had to take off the lip when I lowered the car 1.5inches because I couldn't get up our driveway without scraping it too much. But our driveway has a really steep incline, your's may not.
My friend (PKEK on here) has a CTR lip on his car and it doesn't sit too much lower than the stock bumper. Basically, you should be fine. Your car doesn't look too low in those pictures, I can still see the top of the tires...
