i was wondering if you guys with lipkits lowered your car( probably yeah) how much did you lower it and does it scrape a lot?

 

It depends on how low, what kit, road conditions, and how many people are in your car.

I've got TRD springs and the RS1 frint lip, it scrapes on on some driveways if I don't enter/exit at an angle.

 

my car scrapes like a mother! OEM GFX kit with tein s-tech. scrape scrape!! so if oyur gonna lower your its gonna scrape

 

my bsp is lowered on trd springs and i have the stock lip and never has scraped. you probably will not scrape to bad even if you go with another type of lip.

 

Well, the JP kit is considerably lower than most other lip kits I believe.

 

i have the rs1 on hotchkis and i havent scraped yet =)

 

wtf i have TRDs with the rs1 and i scrape every so often...im pretty careful about going out of steep driveways but sometimes you cant help it.

 

it really depends on the road, and how fast u going. if you are careful and know how low ur car is. You can get away with alot of scrape.

 

ya all depends on how your road are.. ak isnt the best but its not the worst either..and i usually avoid deep inclines to get onto a driveway or into a parking lot =)

 

i see thanks guys

 

Ive had 3 major incidents of hard scrapes.

1. on a big butt dip in a road I was unfamiliar with.

2. up a driveway that had a big but dip in between the street and the driveway itself. so painfull that one... I pull up scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape.... I try to back out again scraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaape.

3. my own tiny butt steep driveway, once. this was the nastiest scrape that left a gash on my front lip kit. I miscalculated trying to pull in when there was another car on the street parked really close to my entrance. I thought I mastered the kung fu art of angling up my driveway.. but the driveway won this time, it had stronger kung fu.

in about 8 months only 3 times.

 

yea, unfamiliar road will give u alot of scraping. haha if i dont know the road, i would drive slower and more careful.

as for some drive way. sometime i have to back out to get out of a drive way. It look stupid but if you want a lower car. you got to be very careful ( do stupid thing like backing out for a drive way) or the cash to get it fix.

 

im on hotchkis and a rs1 lip kit.. i dont scrape at all, only on those crazy slopes like gas stations or whatever. but for the most part. no problem. i actuallly think my car is kind of high still..

 

I have the TRD lowering springs with the OEM Ground Effects and I have never scraped -- its actually still sitting pretty high in my opinion- =) I do however, still go up/down a driveway slanted and drive cautiously just incase

 

I have s-techs and am ordering the 5axis lip next week. I also just ordered some 18's with a 35 offset this week. You think Ill be pretty low? Like low enough where ill have to be careful going over speedbumps?

 

rs1 and stechs in WV and have yet to scrape hard, the worse with the rs1 kit, i dont scrape the front but the back like comes downa and get in the back next to the wheels, its annoying, and i have less than an inch getting into my garage, which isnt an incline but just a L type thing thats like 2 1/2 inches off the ground,



but what the rest said, if you careful you dont scarape allot.

 

rs1 + trd's ... only scrapes on ramps, but if you take a nice angle it doesnt, just be careful and you never will

 

hotchkis and oem gfx kit, i scrape all the time, but if you drive slow on those bumps, the scraping will be minimal.

 

I cracked my lip b/c i didn't see those concrete block in the parking lot... I park in the ONLY sport with one of those =[, My lip is scratched, what I hate is that when I go do a dip thats too low, even when angled, my lip pushes up and scrapes m bumper =[ I needa redo the double sided tape =[

 

yea i hate those concrete block too. i tried to park about 1.5 feets away from it. i almost hit it so many times tho.
