Just a bit worried here.. I ordered my Swift Spec-R's and am a little paranoid about the front lip as far as getting in and out of places and going over bumps. These springs drop the front about 1.4 inches and I'm scared I'm going to wipe out my lip over a bump, lol.

I understand I will need to slow down and in same cases go crooked (I had a lowered eclipse) but am just looking for some input on that much of a drop with the SE lip. Anyone have any issues major issues?

 

no major issues as long as you slow down

 

Its not a major major issue, but I only hit the lip once before I lowered the car. Now I scrap the lip being careful and going slow wvery orher day

 

If you are careful about it, your lip should be fine. Your zero lift kit, however, is another story. I've been on Swift MRs and now Ohlins. Had Chad@CBRD set up the Ohlins a bit higher but the damage on the zero lift kit is done; and there's no undoing it.


PS: Zero lift kit = plastic... not exactly the end of the world here. I am debating going to a Beatrush undertray now, or replacing OEM to keep access to the oil filter easy.

 

I had no problems on mine and was lower than yours, it all comes down to the driver really and hope nothing in the middle of the road suddenly pops up on ya.

 

With Swifts you don't have to angle. You will still be a pretty good height above the ground so clearance won't be an issue.

 

Yeah LOW AND SLOW....

 

Do you have any pix????

 

definitely go with the beatrush, it feels much more stable at high speeds and feels like its sucking the front end down from 70mph and above.

on the scraping part i think you will scrape quite often. my car is stock ride height and i scrape occasionally even when being careful

 

My lip already has some stress crack due to getting on higher ramp or driveways. Oh well.

 

Like others said.. just be extra careful and you will be fine!

 

I've already trashed my lip. A new one is on the list. I have an SE on swift sports. It still holds together good enough to stay on for now. You definitely have to keep it in mind we don't have the best roads around here.

I think I'm going with a rexspeed carbon fiber SE lip next time.

 

I think over time you will grow to not care and still go in angles and drive safely. Dont park too close to the parking curb! I learned that the hard way lol

 

i scrape on steep driveways...some more than others

 

I'm On Tanabe GF210's. The only time I scrape is when I'm careless lol.
