Thumbs up GT3 kit + H&R racing springs = Daily driver

This is for everybody that thinks it is impossible to combine GT3 bumper and H&R racing springs. When I first went to the dealer to order my bumper, the guy helping me told me I was crazy. To really make a statement, I even installed the GT3 cup racing lip.

It's very possible to DD. If you don't want to buy new lips every 3 months, do what I did. Just keep sanding it down each time it gets too beat up and shoot it with a can of flat black paint. Does wonders...

I like to see my front sit low so I buy a new lip about once every 4 months. Sanding it down is good but it's a matter of time before you reach your air ducts...

Looks great, but I don't think anyone thought it was impossible to combine the two. As you and the Buddist have pointed out there is a lot of reshaping of the front lip along the way.

Many people were telling me that it may be impossible to use as DD. I want people to be confident just be aware that they may go through 2-4 lips a year.

I think it also depends on where you live. LA is easier to live with the set up you have then a place like San Fran. The more hills, the worse it is.

I just ordered the new Misha GT turbo bumper and currently have H&R sport springs, I can imagine how low my car will be....I use my car as DD also and it sucks having to manouver around bumps, dips and curb cuts but it's so worth it. Think of it the way chicks think, all the high *** heel they wear are uncomfortable as hell but they suck it up cuz it looks good
