ground effects clearance

How is the ground clearance with the OEM ground effects kit? Respose from those both with and without the lowering springs would be appreciated.
Thanx in advance.

Without springs - clearance is fine. I don't scrape on anything (I have an awful ridge into my underground parking garage that my eclipse would always scrape on, the tc with GFX is fine).

The ground effects don't actually stick any lower than what is already on the car. They extend outwards a little and only make the car look lower than it is.

If you have trouble and you live in a house with a driveway, then you can enter the driveway diagonally.

^^yeah i know, but i'd rather not have that hassle. i don't think my parents' driveway is that bad. i just want to survey if it's worth getting the kit and the springs.
