Can you post pics of the kit, because I think someone has it with TEINs.

ill try to take more pictures when im out of work.. but for ground clearance.. it's not even that bad. i'm from san diego, so the roads are pretty healthy. i noticed that you're from nj, and i heard that roads over there can get ugly. i usually have to swerve to enter a driveway.. i've scraped many times already but it doesn't bother me at all since the scraping is all underneath (not visible when you're looking at it). I suggest you tape down the middle of the lip so that it won't go up and down (knowing that you will screw the sides).. I haven't taped it down yet so it resulted in scratches due to the sharp edges of the lip material. It looks hot on a BSP man.. i recently put on my cf hood to compliment the lip and I've been having those carbon fiber eyelids. Good luck bro.. and i'll check back often to help you with anymore questions.

I am also thinking about putting the Racing Solutions lip kit on my BSP, so I went with the H-Techs (since I was worried about scraping as well). I still can't decide whether or not to get a CF lip kit or just get the plastic kit and get it painted BSP.

decisions..decisions...

^^SP0T^^ Your Lip Looks SICK!!

k well, these are the only pictures I had the time to take.. i've been busy with work and all.. so sorry for the delay.

the first pic is how low it sits with s-techs.
the second pic isn't that great with contrast, but you get the idea of how low it is.





if you need anything else, let me know.

Oh, and you can tell my front lip has already been scraped by looking at the first pic.. but who doesn't? ;P

you can't even see the damage unless you're under the car.

..and i'm temporarily on skunk2 coilovers right now.. i decided to have it the same drop in front as the s-techs, but since the s-techs had that higher look in the rear, i was able to even it up and now it looks awesome =] believe it or not.. ride quality is the same and handling has improved for me.. i chose to take the risk on what people on SL has been telling me to not put in coilovers that doesn't belong to the tC.. but i'm willing to stick with these coilovers for a bit more till i have enough to get tein ss-p coilovers.
