Which kit lowers the FRS the most?

Hi, I'm trying to find which kit will make the FRS appear the lowest. Here's what I've found so far:

Vertex FRS Lip Kit



The side skirts here are perhaps the lowest I've been able to find.

For the lowest front bumper, it would either be the Vertex front lip above, the HT Auto lip on the stock bumper, or the Varis bumper:

HT Auto





Varis








Anyone have any other kits that go lower? Thanks

OP, there's a sticky in the suspension forum that has all the spring rates and their lowering capabilites and other goodies. Helps to check there first.


He's asking about the body kits.

My bad. I'm brain dead and awaiting my doom for a calc test. Not all here at the moment.

Varis Kit, OP.

@sittinsideways


Generally lighter colored objects appear closer to the eye and therefore larger. Since the photos are from different angles its tough to give an opinion. I'll go with the Vertex kit.

C-West half-lip lowers it to about the height of the skidplate.

Thanks guys. It looks like HT Auto/Varis fronts are the lowest, with Vertex sides as the lowest side skirts. I'm sure there is some crazy JDM kit though out there that lowers it even further.

Here is the 5 Axis after h&r Sport Springs. The springs are about 1.4 inches lower than stock.
