I don't understand you guys who slam your cars and are then surprised when the front end hits the smallest of bumps in the road - just look at the geometry of the front edge of the bottom of the bumper/lip relative to the centre of the tire contact on the road and you will get some idea of what height of obstruction you can safely navigate without bottoming out, and then stay away from everthiing else that is higher. The lip is really made for a track environment where the pitch of the transitions in the roadway surface are very small and controlled. where the lip can do what it was intended to do.without colliding with the road surface constantly. The obvious answer is not to lower your car - even then, with the lip installed, your ability to go over bumps is impaired compared to just the plain bumper because it reduces the approach angle that can be handled.

I think the Coastal splitter is a nice protection for the bottom of the lip but it will suffer the damage that the lip would otherwise suffer. Because it does protrude out front a little, however, it may give you some more timely feedback about your position relative to the curb you are about to mount!

Not sure what those are or do
