Is the rear bumper a whole new rear bumper and diffuser or are they just the two valences on the side?

Just two small pieces for the lower bumper.

I love the kit I just wish that the lines connecting to the actual body were less noticeable. I guess with a full polyurethane kit its unavoidable. None the less, I'm considering both this kit and the TRD kit. Maybe even a mixture of the two.

My biggest fear is when I dump it the front lip will scrape on EVERYTHING. It doesn't really lower the front clearance much but extends outwards which will make approach angle challenging.

@digital_assassin how low are you intending to go with ?

digital_assassin · 08-20-2012, 02:59 PM

Not sure yet but I'm thinking about 2" to get the tires to tuck a little

I'd be fine with 1/4" wheel gap.

@Synack - That should be in the 2" neighborhood. 1.5" - 2" will be perfect on this car.

I'm going with the Eibach Sports line 1.4 inch drop going with the 19 inch wheels ... I hope this won't be an issue with rubbing etc ...

I'm thinking the same until I blow my stock shocks, then sell the springs and install coilovers.

tnt · 08-20-2012, 04:37 PM

there was another thread regarding installation problems with Eibach so hopefully my stock shocks won't blow up

digital_assassin · 08-20-2012, 04:38 PM

I read on here that the stock shock should be OK as long as the installer doesn't spin the shaft when removing the stock springs and installing the new ones. Apparently there is a special wrench to keep it locked into the correct position.

Synack · 08-20-2012, 04:42 PM

Well I'm expecting mine to blow after like 10,000 miles or so.
