I want to pick up a oem front lip for my ap1 but don't know if it will cause me many problems getting around. I was looking at the front of my car in a pretty level parking lot last night and thought to myself "hmm its sitting low in the front, I wonder how much that will cause problems around town?" For the record I am lowered on koni yellows on the second perch and I *may* have aftermarket springs. Didn't look at the springs when I was swapping them over to the konis but people have said that even on the stock struts, my car sat a little lower than other s2000s.

My question to you guys with the lowered setup with the oem front lip is, do you guys have trouble getting around or am I over thinking the distance from the ground the lip will take up.

 

you should be good getting around town..im lowered, and with a front lip. Driving around town and what not is fine and nothing to worry about. just dont go driving into parking curbs, or high driveways...you have to take a little more extra caution driving up/down things. other then that, you should be good!

 

 

Thats what I figured. I think I was just over thinking how much the lip adds. Any ideas on the measurements on the difference between with lip and without lip. Isn't it something like .5 inch?

 

you should be fine. i also have a front lip and lowered. its not a problem getting around town. just beware of curbs when parking the car, your lip will get scratched.

 

I had a mugen splitter on my car for a while and didn't really scrape on much things...btw I'm lowered on some coilovers and I'm flush with the fender...

 

the OEM lip doesnt really make the front much lower. Overall as long as you pay attention ot what youre driving over/pulling out of, you should be fine.

 

yes

 

id be more worried about ripping out my fender liners and ruining my fender than scraping the front lip...
