How much does underbody kit reduce clearance?

Pretty self-explanatory question... I was just curious for those of you with the underbody kit (front, sides, rear) how much lower to the ground the car rides with the spoilers. I've managed to scrape the front a couple of times on parking curbs, and just want to better understand how much lower it would be (i.e., how much more frequently I'll end up scraping it).

If I go with the underbody kit, I'll likely get all three components (front, sides, rear) and have them installed at the dealer.

Love the car, though... had it for 2 months now, and I get no end of compliments on it everywhere I go!

The dealer last night told me it was a quarter of an inch but i don't think i believe that. What vtechbrain states sounds more resonable.

about 1.5 inches on the 04 TL

I have a 02 Tl with kit and H&R racing springs, now I have about 6 inches of clearance all around. It's low, but not to bad. All you need is to drive slow at angles around bumps, and watch out for your back coming down off bumps.

One advantage to all of this is with a kit your car is fcuking HOT.
