its the front and backs that have problems with bumps, but lowering it an inch to 1 1/2 shouldnt be bad with skirts
NO PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO GO LOWER!!!!!!!!! GO 2" GO!!!!!!!!
I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Yeah it doesent seem like the sides are a problem but i hit a bad speed but a couple weeks ago and hit my crossmember.
how fast you were going???? i didnt hit mines yet.

The first time i went over i was going fast for a speed bump. The next time i went by the same speed bump i went really slow and it happend again. Maybe just a wierd speed bump.
Anyone one had problems with invaders?they look a little bigger than other skirts.
S-Techs and stock side skirts, no problems noted.

I second this comment!
No problems with my Teins/Stock skirts. Just go on an angle & slow on bumps/driveways, etc.

Very true. If it helps, I was running stock wheels/tires, 18x8 w/215/35-18 tires (same overall diameter) and 18x8 w/225/40-18 tires (slightly larger than stock diameter), all with zero issues.

i have 17's.
i have 16s (not sure of the tire specs though) and no problems with scraping. i have oem sides on mine. it will also depend on how good/stiff your struts are.
Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
athorn dont worry much about it. if you scrape, you scrape. i scrape...........but that's on really inclined driveways and really high bumps.

Thanks for reasuring me everyone. New stuts and shocks are the next thing on my list.
