Body kit witbout lowering...

In the past I was " that guy" that thought cars should be lowered before kits other than lip kits are installed, but with the GT 86 Aero package looking so good on the car stock , it has made wonder if every kit will look just fine on an FR-S. I was even considering making buy one and running stock height just because of where I regularly drive and the condition of the roads.

I'm not one to worry what others really say, but being that it goes against what I normally think I'm looking for some feedback. Now in the future, I might lower it some but we're talkin way off. There will be rims and tires before my car moves down.

What do y'all think?

My set up exactly -

5axis body kit - NO lowering.
As it is I still scrape.

If I lowered it I would end up like one of those idiots asking for help when his car is high centered on a speed bump in a drive through LOL !
