S-techs + RS1 lip kit = scrape like a ****?


or...

S-techs + RS1 lip kit = drive slowly and you'll live.

(Was looking at S-techs for later)

go to assualtechperformance.com use code modified and you can get them pretty cheap where i got my htechs from. but speedbumps you dont even have to go slow you go at them straight on. my front lip slightly scrapes but nothing big deal and depends on the drive way i have to do a angle on the huge inclined driveways. but if it has a slight incline on it you should be fine. but like g2 said if you dont like wheels gap and want to go lower go with stechs. htechs will have like 1 1/2 finger gap up front and a 2 finger gap in the rear. i went with htechs because if i have 4 people in the car which i do alot i scrape really bad even on htechs with the 10 speedbumps i go over back and forth leaving my house.

You'll be fine, I did CF RS1 with Tanabes. Was about half a cm off the ground goin into my complex's parkin lot, but if you go slow it'll work. Just don't hit a tire on the freeway or this'll happen:

You should be perfectly fine with that. im lowered and i can still got over speedbumps just fine. youll just have to do the sideway trick to go into driveways to be on the safe side.

tanabe's drop them low in the rear to even out the height of the car.

this is my car on H-Techs and TRD struts. if your going to run the springs on stock struts then the car will be a tad bit lower. the TRD struts make the car sit a little higher.

yeah i saw some photos of people who have H-techs installed with stock struts and they look like they lower the car a little bit more than what i have installed.
