question for who has the T/A style front bumper

just wondering if you guys had any problems with the nose being so low now.... just wondering if mine is on the lower or higher side of ground clearance... my lower lip is approx 4 7/8" off the floor... what are you guys? wondering if I should raise my front up a little...?

Problems...the original CF lip shattered, but I replaced it with the smaller plastic lip and it has been fine since. Not sure exactly the height.

I have to go at angles but am ok. No front lip like Statman. Will measure tomorrow. Can tell you it is lower that a stock Lambo Guiardo (however you spell it)

Here is mine with the lip installed. I am running pss9 and just be cautious when going thru speed bumps or simply do not go to places with big bumps.

For reference, mine has factory aero & lip lowered about 1" at the front (25.5" to fender lip) and ground clearance is 4 7/8" to lip.

For the moment this is about as low as I think I'd personally go for day-day practicality. I need to be conscious & careful but not overly so; I take ramp-ups at an angle only occasionally.

when I did the measurements from the stock bumper to the TA front, it wasn't that much lower. The problem was that the TA front is a bit longer which made it more difficult to drive. I try to angle the car at least 45 degrees when going up a driveway

My lip is just over 3" from a level floor. I scrape a little on things I am not prepared for but as long as I take my time and am careful I can usually minimize scrapes... Here's a pic of my ride next to IllM3's Gt2 for reference.....

Yup... initially I was going to put on the smaller spoiler but after driving the car for the past few weeks I've found that the roads around me aren't really that bad. Of course you need to pay attention to what you are doing and going but I figure anyone driving these cars is probably doing that already...
