No drop, no spacers...

I am not planning on dropping my 06 OB Coupe anytime soon. Can I still get away with putting on a Nismo front bumper and Greedy sides? I have stock 19" Rays.

I usually carry 2 or 3 passengers and my car sometimes bottoms out even without a drop. Probably another year and a half before I am going to drop it.

Of course, the Nismo front bumper doesn't hang down much more than the OE. You're not getting spacers? But everyone but myself thinks they're needed! You might want to shop around for sides other than the Greddy, there's new better shaped/flush mount sides available now. G/L

Nismo front will look fine, but I can't say the same for the greddy sides. Just go with the nismo and splash guards.

Thanks for the input guys. I am planning on getting spacers soon. I like the little vent thing on the Greedy sides. Are there any other sides that have cool little vents?

Greddy sides hang far too low for Nismo front, which is one of the highest aftermarket bumpers. I would get 06 sport sides to match with the Nismo instead. Some people go for Impul sides but they also sit too low for the Nismo.

Car should look okay without a drop as long as you're just going Nismo front and 06 sport sides. If you got anything more aggressive, it would look awkward and probably worse than OEM.

Greddy sides are too low for the Nismo front, it sits too high.

get Nismo front and spacers and springs for a mild drop

I have the sport front and sides. I am planning on getting 25mm Ichiba V2's all around. I had no idea about the height of either. Thanks for the info. Looks like I am going to just get splash guards for front and rear..
