People With Versus Kit

When you put on the kit..did you have ur car lowered also?..If so by how much?

I was wondering if i put on the kit and drop it..It might be to low?

tough call, i have comptech and a versus kit, but my front was trimmed for that reason. I wish I would have stayed with the front because i never scrape and wish i was a bit lower. Our cars ride very high unmodified...

My buddy has the versus kit on an 03 CL with TEIN coilovers. He hit the front within 30 seconds of having it, backing out of the body shop. Then he knocked the entire front piece of the kit off the car on the parkway a few days later in a big dip.

i really thought about gettin the versus kit but im in nj and im on an eibach drop....so no chance of me getting it first pot hole i miss seeing and the kits gonna get ripped off just like blader is saying also dont get those cheap fiberglass kits off of ebay once again on pot hole and youll crack it to bits which is worse theni t just falling off.

i have the versus kit on my ride along with eibach sportlines... the thing about the versus kit (well at least mine) is that the center part of the lip is really flimsy. it got pretty banged up over the first month BUT I COULD HAVE SWORN I NEVER SCRATHED IT. turns out on the freeway my friend was looking at the front from his car and he saw the lip bending from the wind pressure at like 70+mph like it was "talking". anyways thats what the piece got messed up for me, so if anyone has the same problem with the versus and wonders why i suggest using 2 zip ties.

wow, very clean! but florida has some of the best roads as opposed to the tristate area...

by the way, whoever installs the kit should also put brackets to support the front and rear overhangs.

check my sig to see the way i modified the front to be able to get clearance.

I put a bracket under my front lip in the middle to hold it up. I rarely have any problems with rubbing and I have a comptech drop.

how well..only one way to find out i guess..i just installed the Tein S techs with the KYB shocks..and it looks kinda low already. My Kit is getting painted rite now and hopefully the dude calls me soon so i can get it installed.

What should i do about the flimsy part?

I tried to take a picture today, but it rained all day, so I will try in the morning, it is a custom metal bracket that I put on.

you can drive a car with a kit and not hit anything you just need to becarful when you drive. avoid pot holes and roads or driveways that have steep inclines in them.
