body kit height?

I'm asking everyone with any body kit knowledge to contribute.

I'm interested in getting a body kit and lowering my car. The only problem is that I live in an area with alot of speed bumps and rocky terrain. I don't want to spend money on a kit thats going to get cracked and beat up because it's too low.

My question is, how do most body kits compare to something like the oz lip kit in height difference?

I know the kaminari kit is just a slight bit lower than the oz lip kit, but what about the rest (apex, ken style, evo 7, ect...)

Also, does the height difference depend on the company, or are they all basically the same (meaning will an evo7 kit from accolade hang lower than an evo7 kit from import trenz.)

Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

hrmm how to put this nicely .. drop the car first find out how low you want it your best bet might be to get airbags so u can lower ur car once ur stoped / parked. specialy around here and dont forget about snow cuz u dont want to use ur car as a plow.

you could allways beat ur current bumper sideskirts and whut not up as they are now till u find how low u want to go

even with my new bumper as i was workn on it iv found that iv scratched it by going over something even tho iv never knowingly driven over any thing that might have scratched it so no matter how carefull you are you will be botteming out many many many times expecially if you lower your car.

ok, but as far as the actual heights of the kits go....which ones hang lower....this is really the info im looking for...

I've seen people on here selling evo7 bumpers with oz side skirts and they say they match up perfectly. Are all evo7 kits like this? Are other kits signifigantly lower?

import trenz's evo 7 kit lines up with the oz kits. accolade kits are much lower
