Default AP2 front lip question.

hey just curious to know how much lower does the ap2 front lip sit on the car. I did a search and didnt find anything. Im asking this because im gonna leave the car at stock ride height but am gonna do the lip but i just wanna make sure it will clear my garage becuase my garage goes in on an incline a lil and i dont wanna scrape

if you're staying at stock height, i can't imagine you'd have any problems unless your garage is something insane. you still have a lot of clearance with the ap2 lip and no drop

thats a ridiculously big difference.
I just ordered my ap2 lip now I'm contemplating whether I should install it as my s2k is lowered almost 3inches.

I don't think it's that much at all. I specifically looked at the heights before and after the OEM lip install. There was just about a half inch difference. It's hardly worth worrying about.

If you're lowered, then that additional half an inch may make a difference, but with my lowered car AND OEM lip, I have not encountered any obstacles or issues that I had a problem with. In any case, with or without a lip, with or without a drop, you should always be careful when going over inclines with this car.

Like one of the above posters stated, if you don't intend on lowering your car, and just have an OEM lip, your driveway incline has to be pretty crazy for you to be worried about scraping.

You won't have any issues at stock ride height!

About an inch like other's have stated. You can angle going in and back up going out. That's what I've had to do with my driveway/parking area.
