I have the full RKSport GFX and while I'm very low...just go slow over bumps and watch the slanted driveways and entrances...not a problem!

EDIT: Added a pic to show you the kit. Lowered on KW V1 Coilovers...about 1 inch up front and 1.5 in the rear...

If you are an experienced lowered car driver, you'll have no problems.

I have the Eibach Pro Kit springs and Anti-Roll Sways with the factory GFX kit and have had ZERO scraping issues. Love the feel of the car on smooth roads, feels like my Corvette did on the bumpier roads.

I got a hell of a deal on the kits that can not be matched (got them at a charity auction) and install was $350 and that included the alignment. Pull the trigger and you will not be sorry.


Edit: The kit actually drops the car about 1.2-1.3" both front and rear. It gives the car the look it deserves. Love my ride height and haven't zero regrets.
