i was just wandering if anyone has a 2 inch drop and was wandering if you have any scrapping issues with a 2 inch drop

BPHILLY22 · August 30th, 2011, 10:16 PM

u should be good if u have ur oem bumper still on... people with usually with lips are the ones who scrape. Depends also where u live..

OrangeDemon · August 30th, 2011, 10:17 PM

Lots of hills in cinci bro, if you got the aero kit there's no way to avoid scraping. If you plan on a front lip dont drop.

FeaRlezZ · August 30th, 2011, 10:19 PM

gotta use ur own judgement. .

bullet06 · August 30th, 2011, 10:25 PM

I live in flat ass Florida and scraped on a 1.8 drop. The bottom of the front bumper has scratches but you can't tell un less you get down to look. You can tell when your about to scrape just be more careful driving.

I have one. you will certainly scrape if you hit the wrong kind of road/bump/incline etc. no way around it. just gotta watch out for it, avoid it, decide if you want to live with the risk vs. rewards kind of thing. I love mine, but am also VERY F*CKING CAREFUL.

good luck.

Daxenth · August 31st, 2011, 05:32 PM

blake · August 31st, 2011, 06:28 PM

ill be doing the tein 2 in drop off of autocityimports

blake · August 31st, 2011, 06:29 PM

i dont have an aero kit just the oem bumper

do you guys just scrape bumper/lip ?? im not really concerned about that cuz its an easy fix im just dont wanna bottom out my exhaust undercarriage etc.

bullet06 · August 31st, 2011, 06:36 PM

I've only sraped under the front bumper. It it oem as well. You won't bottom out unless you doing something you should not be doing on the street.

Asian Cracker · August 31st, 2011, 06:38 PM

I scrape all the damn time.

jarhead0321usmc · August 31st, 2011, 06:45 PM

I bottomed out the otherday fucking road construction left a huge fucking ditch in the road with no warning I just about killed someone after luckily no one was around otherwise I would have

clipse4gs · August 31st, 2011, 09:44 PM

i got s techs and love them, wouldnt have it any other way honestly, you're only going to scrape if you drive like an idiot. lol if theres an incline, kick it sideways a little bit and you'll be good. take bumps sorta slow. as far as speed bumps go, i clear with no prob. i have the aero front lip and occasionally scrape if theres no room to go diagonally. and it only scrapes on the bottom and you cant tell lol

as far as scrapping undercarriage and bottoming out, go diagonally and u will be just fine, there are very very few places where i bottom out and scrape the rear suspension ( big ass metal piece in between my rear tires connecting control arms and camber etc..) lol and thats going straight over it

simply put, go slow where you should and go diagonally if needed. you'll love the drop and handling!!

BPHILLY22 · August 31st, 2011, 10:05 PM

i go into my driveway in reverse all the time bc ill scrape forward

ya with incline driveways should try that!! it helped me maybe it could help you

try it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bullet06 · August 31st, 2011, 10:14 PM

lol same here ^

blake · August 31st, 2011, 11:36 PM

hahah going in driveway in reverse hhaa alright guys and girl thanks for the ffedback will be ordering them asap

NitroGlisson · September 2nd, 2011, 01:32 PM

I have a 1.5 drop with a full body kit. I scrape all the time but it is the front bumper and side skirts....have never scraped the undercarriage. One added advantage is when someone throws a cig out the window...I scoop it up and dispose of it when i get home

JoeyC · September 2nd, 2011, 01:34 PM

2s not bad! just gotta make sure you come out at a huge angle almost sideways if its to steep! also u will have problems with getting it on lifts or getting jack under -just make sure you have some boeards to drive onto or a smale piece of wood or metal to put on jack to give it hight
