A-SPEC Ground clearance ?

I'm planning to maybe buy the A-SPEC Spoilers kits without the optionnal suspension, and I'm wondering if anybody had trouble with ground clearance of the front spoiler ?

It seems very low for me, especially in winter time with snow....

I got the kit and there seems to be ok clearance. Just no extra high curbs. The front middle is not as low as the sides.

Just drive slowly on the incline/declines. It shouldn't be a problem. The air dam thing would scrape first..

Yup. I have the kit but not the suspension (although I hope to have the suspension before winter). It should not be a problem as long as your streets are plowed, and you aren't trying to make it through half a foot of snow.

Just be careful when parking, because you could scrape the kit on the concrete parking blocks.

It does'nt seems to bad for the clearance. I believe that you must take care of the bump, otherwise it's ok...

No problems here... have had the kit since June...

I have yet to see a winter with this car... so i won't know how much snow gets gummed up in the wheel wells or how well the front underspoiler holds up to accidental run ins with enbanked snow in parking lots...
