Hey guys,

It's been a while since I've posted anything but I'm a constant lurker

How many inches of clearance do I lose by getting the A-spec lip kit. I've tried searching for my answer, but to no avail.

I'm trying to determine if I can continue to use my daily driver without any consequences considering that I already have the H & R Sport Springs (can't remember the drop but I think it was roughly 1.2-1.3 inch drop). I'm running stockies.

Considering speed bumps are about 4 inches high, I'd like to NOT skip a beat every time I go over one.

Thanks guys.

 

You are running on springs...........phffff you will be fine with the aspec lip kit. Just get it nothing to worry about.

My money won't be right for another 3 weeks or so....or else i'll sign up right now.

Thanks evil for responding. I'd still like to know exactly what i'll be working with once its installed. How many inches of clearance will I have?

Thanks guys and gals!

 

Do you scrap now?

 

I'm on H&Rs and running an A-Spec lip kit too. It's raining outside for now, but I can run out and get measurements for you when I get a chance.

Perfectly fine for daily driving; the only time you have to worry is when parking next to sidewalks or parking blocks. Scraped my front lip underneath already, but I'm also running 255/40s on my stockies, which I think changes the height a little.

 

Nah evil, I dont really scrape now but I also dont know how much clearance I have when I go over speed bumps. I also dont know how much clearance I lose with the kit. Soooo, Jo, if you can do that for me, that would definitely help me out. hurry up rain and go away lol.


Edit:

J,or anyone else, if you dont mind, can you please measure all sides. Thanks so much :-)

 

its not even that significant of a change to have to worry about it. I'm dropped 2 inches on coilovers and don't have to worry about speed bumps.

 

Damn how big are your speed bumps there? No homo.

 

PMed SiriusCity already, but wanted to post my answer here as well, in case anybody with the same set-up as mine wanted to refer to this in the future.

Measurements are, as follows (sorry for my wording, as I don't have much of a vocabulary for describing specific parts of the lip or car):

Average ride height of my car, from the ground to the top of the wheelwells: 25-1/4 inches (also note that I am riding with 255/40/17 tires, which may be a little smaller than stock for ride height)

Curb where I usually park at my apartment: about 6 inches high

Lowest part of the front lip (gray part): 6-3/8 inches

Highest part of the front lip (just underneath the "ACURA" lettering in front bumper): starts at 8-1/4 inches, and goes to 7-1/2 inches as you look underneath the car

Side of front lip (also similar to side skirt clearance, I believe): 5-1/4 inches

 

The A spec suspension drops you around 1" if you also go with the suspension along with the body kit.

 

I can't confirm this, but I believe A-Spec only drops about 3/4-inch (MT A-Spec also gives more of an even drop), IIRC.

OP and I are both running H&R Sport Springs, so the drop is a more-noticeable 1.4/1.3, and also makes it look pretty even to me, from front to back. I hope somebody finds this useful!
