Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it appears to be the most relevant.

Can anyone with the Aero Kit measure the ground clearance to the rubber + to the edge of the front lip itself?

We have a rather steep driveway with the Bimmer and the Jag XK inside the garage. The other GSR (no aero) sits in the driveway. They can all make it when you attack the driveway and a pretty sharp angle. The XK *barely* makes it, and it has the lowest clearance of the three cars at ~4.8"

I think I may need to get some of those curb ramps to help the new GSR up the slope. Anyone care to enlighten me with some figures? I can't even imagine getting up there with snow this winter (I'm in Illinois).

I also have a Venture Shield kit (not crappy 3M stuff) and custom pieces made from the same material on my aero kit. I honestly can't imagine how scratched up the front spoiler and sills would be without it here in Michigan. And the aero kit, besides looking way cool, keeps some of the crap from flying up on the car and pitting the paint.

BTW-In the thread above you can also see my Blizzaks and wheels from Tire Rack - A MUST HAVE in the weather here!!!! Worst Winter E_V_E_R (I grew up in Chicago) and they were amazing.

 

Hey where did you get the stuff put on at?

 

Still looking for some recommendations on installers in Illinois.

I will definitely have to grab some wheels + blizzaks for the winter here.

He did my RL also and it looked brand new when I traded it in.


And yes it survived the salt, potholed roads and worst winter in decades...


But it sucked *** - I hate freakin' salt!!!!!! ...

 

They are really great-and for the winter they ride better than the stock tires, given the sub-zero temps that is a plus on the RATTLE scale!

 

A hearty boom buy yeah to you sir and a HUGE for those sick wheels!

 

snow plow ftw!

 

i kinda laughed at the snow plow thing..if your car is low enough and you have the aero kit..i couldnt but imagine it would plow some snow

but i dont have the aero kit and we never get snow here

 

Let's put it this way, I wouldn't lower the car any more than the stock eibach springs...

 

here in quebec we get A LOT A LOT of snow. I hope winter will come soon,lol...jok....seriously if you have never drove your evo x in the winter your missing something this is so much fun. forget your body kit goes. I am not dropped not even with the stock body kit and I was hitting snow everyday I can't imagine with a drop or a body kit.......guys in the north will understand me.

ps: theres a little button saying SNOW in our car..thats not for nothing

 

Can anyone with an Aero kit please answer my previous question (the reason I bumped this thread from the dead... last post before mine was February 2009!):

What is the ground clearance measurement with the Aero kit?

 

About 5.75 inches to the lowest rubber, 7 inches to the plastic lip the rubber is attached to.

 

How's that possible when the normal Evo X ground clearance is 5.3 inches?

 

Just measuring up in the front lip, that is where the problems occur when entering driveways etc.

Could be that the front brake air guides make the difference in the 5.75 vs 5.3 inches, they do hang down lower below the car. They are farther back close to the brakes.
