The Verus front splitter is quite long. Will this significantly affect the use of the car (e.g. when driving into a garage, driving over bumpy racetracks like the Nordschleife)? I saw a video of the new prototype Corvette ZR1 where the front splitter hit the ground on the Nordschleife ...
Thank you.

I am assuming you are referring to the non adjustable splitter. I have the Toyota 86 one. I am lowered on Bilstein B16 coilovers by about 30mm up front and 33mm in the rear. When I was on stock tyres and wheels (17"), the front did scrap on some quite steep angled intersections and had to be careful on speed humps. Not like stance where going at crazy angles to avoid bottoming out but had to be aware.
Now I am running enkei rpf1 in 17", but I have gone from the stock 215/45/R17 tyre to a 245/45/R17 tyre. I did this as now, the sidewall is 15.75mm thicker. This essentially raises the ride height by that much. Now I still am aware of some intersections around my area but haven't bottom out since. At the moment I think I have about 110mm ground clearance under the splitter. Will confirm once I get home after work.
