Default P1 splitters and speed bumps??

Hi

I have recently had a P1 splitter fitted to my car and i also know it needs lowering.

The thing is, i am scared of hitting speed bumps, low kerbs etc and was wondering how low other people with P1 splitters have lowered their cars and what their experiences are with hitting stuff with it.

I am thinking of lowering by around 30-35mm.

Thanks

Hey up dan!

I had the same worry myself with the prodrive springs and scott lowe front splitter,no issues on speedhump's even when straggling the centre road ones,the only problem i found is mounting curbs to park outside the house,so i now just reverse on.

The prodrive springs drop the sti 25-30 mm at the front,add another 15-20mm of drop from the splitter,it gets close sometime

Don't worry about speedbumps,mine was shattered by a bloody rabbit commiting hari kari.
My advice, raise the car about 8 inches
