Calling all lowered cars!

Dinan springs, not a whole lot of space, about 4"? When I install my coilovers I'll be a bit higher up front. Haven't had too many issues, just gotta be mindful of your angles and approaches to driveways/ speed bumps.

I have the KW V3 gepfeffert coilovers.. gepfeffert means shorter schock absorbers.
Clearance between lip and ground is about 2inch. It will be lower in the front after the new wheels are installed |

Snapped this for ya, I measure 3.75" from bottom of the lip, to the ground. A little lower than my Dinan setup, now on coils. Don't mind the bugs splats, it's a daily battle..;

Never raised for winter. But I had broken 2 lips over the last 2 years because of the snow and ice storm when the snow gets piled between the tire tracks. This year I just avoided driving the car on the big storm days. If I break 1 more lip the bumper will need to be replaced.
