Zefiro body kit for 00~01 tibs
Does this body kit make the body any lower to the ground? and if so, how much lower? i found some 'sport springs' that'll drop the car down an inch or two (depending on which ones i get) however, i wanna know how much lower the car will be with the kit on first ^.^

Most body kits on the market do hang lower than factory parts. The sides will definitly be lower due to the side skirts. And as far as the front goes....a majority of companies that make kits make their front bumpers hang alot lower than the stock one. Alot of people have kits and have their cars lowered. You just have to be careful going up inclines or going over speed bumps. wink.gif

WAY LOWER!! OF COUSE A LOT LOWER THAN STOCK. I HAVE IT INSTALLED ON MY CAR TOGETHER WITH 215 40 16'S AND EIBACK SPRINGS AND IT IS LOW!! SNOW IN MIN.? TOO LOW MAYBE. I CAN MEASURE THE CLEARENCE IF YOU WISH AND COME UP WITH CONCLUSIONS TAKING IN ACCOUNT YOUR TIRES ETC.

OK. LOWEST BODY PART ON MINE IS THE FRONT SPOILER AT 3.5 INCHES FROM GROUND. THE LOWEST PART IS UNDER THE CAR SINCE ON SPEED REDUCTORS I SOMETIMES SCRAPE THE BOTTOM AND NOT THE BODY KIT. FRONT PART IS USUALLY THE MOST CRITICAL. TAKE IN CONSIDERATION THAT FROM THE CENTER OF THE RIM (AXLE LEVEL) TO THE GROUND IS (215x.4/25.4) 3.38 OF TIRE WALL PLUS 8INCHES FOR RIM OR 11.38 INCHES TOTAL IN MY CASE. I THINK MY DROP IS 1.75INCHES
