Default Ground clearance with lip kit

Thinking about buying the lip kit from Five AD, but I wondering how much less ground clearance I would have?

I'm riding on S-techs right now and might switch my tires to 40 size side wall in the future.

I already have to go pretty slow on drive ways lol

Thanks for any help given.

I had the NIA front splitter for about a month, mine is also on
S-Tech's. It scrubbed on the slightest incline. It would rub on a large speed bump if i did not take it at an angle. It gets very old, especially when you go to a gas station and realize you can't get in the parking lot! The nose of our car is kinda' long in the middle, any extra extension is going to be problematic.

I have an RS7 and am thinking about getting Eibach Sportline Springs, would I have any problems with the lip kit on the RS7?

I agree with this 100% I'm a little lower on coilovers and I just have the Seibon front lip kit. Although the coilovers help the rubbing because of the spring rate but it does get old. Here is my car in my drive way. Look at the front lip clearance ps I'm not as low as it looks in the pic it's the angle of the driveway .

Sure or stay at stock height but I think scion202 had rubbing issues also on TRD's you might want to pm him on that. I don't remember the details or look at his build thread.

TRD's would be your best bet. It will scrub, but it would not be anything like we described.
