Front lip clearance?

I'm looking at purchasing a front lip (the ebay one) for my evo8 and was wondering how much clearance I will have? I have s-techs at the moment, and am on stock wheels. Just wondering how practical it will be to have a front lip on the car for everyday driving.

Thanks in advance

Let's just say this you won't be able to get your car on an alignment rack without taking off the lip. I have a doluck lip with Tein coilovers lowered about 1.5 inches alla round and the front end is not rediculuously low but it makes going up ramps difficult.

So then for everyday driving I should be okay as long as I steer clear of big dips or bumps? My work has medium sized speed humps, Think I will clear those?

I really couldn't say yes or no. I don't have s-tech I have coilovers wilth a very moderate drop. Stechs drop the car was too much so it will probably be lower than my setup. I'd say if you want to get a front lip then sell the stechs and buys swifts.

Actually plan on that in the next few weeks. Thanks for the input
