Default Wald Kit

Is this car lowered at all? I want to buy a wald kit and I was wondering what the ground clearance would be like with stock suspension??

With the Wald and Tien, is there a way to have it set where you dont scrape much? I have a nasty driveway.

Looks like stock height to me. Being that Tein coilovers are fully adjustable, it would be up to you to lower however much you want without getting it to scrape on your driveway.

I have the wald kit with stock suspension. I did scrap the front lip coming up my driveway... and TBH honest my driveway is not that steep.

I have to come in at a slight angle, real slow.

trust me mike, with the wald kit and even at stock height, if you dare to head into a relatively steep driveway straight on, you will scrap

I think it might be best for me to get the suspension, exhaust, & new wheels first before I buy a body kit. I am used to driving low cars with body kits but I really like having all the ground clearance I have now with H&R Springs and no body kit. It just doesnt look hard enough for me though... Maybe once I move out of Pacific Beach I can get a Kit, the roads and driveways around here are nasty.

Yeah I agree about the kit being last which is what I did. I used to be slammed, but ever since I added the kit, I had to raise the car back up. If you get suspension, go with air or coilovers and it will definitely save you heartaches.

try getting a eurethane lip, it can take alot more abuse that a fiberglass one, thus allowing u to screw up a couple times too bad I cant think of any ones right now

I think I spelled erethane wrong damnit how do u spell it
