Ground clearance? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

RT87 · 11-28-2012, 01:22 PM

For anyone who has lowered their car, how much have you lowered it by (in inches) and do you find yourself scraping a lot? I'm just trying to figure out how much I want to lower it while avoiding scrapes. Thanks!

Also interested in this. I used to drive my slammed Civic and hated going slow over any type of bump.

I want to go as low as possible without having to worry about dramatically decreasing my speed going over bumps and driveways.

Ain't nobody got time for dat.

Stock ground clearance is supposedly 4.9 inches.

I lowered mine ~1.65in. So far I only scrape on a speed bump going into work. I also have an aftermarket exhaust that hangs down a little bit more than stock.
