Default Question abt. Kaminari kit...

How much lower does this lip kit make the car? Does it fall 1-2 inches lower? Im in the market for a lip kit but don't want to go too low. So far Im on 19's and eibach pros if that helps any. Thanks!

If you are only on 19's w/ Eibach springs this kit will be perfect for you. It is a lip kit and hangs about 4-5 inches everywhere. My friend has this and he is rock Tein coils about 2" drop on 19" wheels and he has had ZERO problem with scrapping and such. Def one of the cleanest lip kits out there.

Considering my car is a daily driver, 4 and 5 inches is a huge difference. I had a 96 accord coupe before this car and my r33 front gave me about a marlboro box clearance up front. Im hoping to avoid this. It might be asking for a lot but does anyone happen to have pics of a kaminari kitted is3 with eibach pros and 19's that can take a pic of the clearance? Maybe put a ruler or box of menthols by the front?

I was meaning more of lik 4 inches clearance. If I am thinking right the eibach springs on the IS300 only drop the car around 1-1.5". So you should not have scrapping problems. The kit itself is about 3-4 inches lower from stock all around if you wanna count that..
