Best side skirts for aggressive drops??

Currently I have a kenstyle rear and greddy sides. My issue is the greddy sides seem really wide and even though my drop isn't SUPER aggressive, I only have about 2" of clearance from the front of the side skirt to the ground. I'm getting new wheels for next season and it will be a very aggressive set up so I'm wanting to drop even lower but I'm trying to figure out what sides will allow a more aggressive drop without being an inch off the ground. Suggestions?

that is a very bad combo, the greddy sides sit the lowest out of all of the aftermarket sides, and the kenstyle rear sits really high.

the nismo sides probably sit the highest compared to others (i.e. impul, ings+1)

Actually, the kenstyle does sit a little higher but it not that high. Is it optimal? No but it really not a "very bad" combo.

i am sorry when i said its a bad comboi was just speaking purely from a height perspective. one being too low other being too high just makes mismatch drastic.

just curious what front are you running?

I am in with the bandwagon on this one. The nismo sides will allow more "drop space" when it comes to going to a more aggressive drop.

But personally, for me, I'll always be a fan of my impul sides. I like them so much more after owning ings+1 style replica sides.

It's all good. Front right now is just stock with N1 front lip. This is basically the car now just before I stuck some spacers and brembo's on, just for a frame of reference.

Im having this debate right now too. I have kenstlye and greddy sides but im about to drop it. I have the strafe front and cs rear wonder how it will look with both and clearance.

I know arch made those impuls a little higher for his poly sides but you never know what your going to get with them.

Impulse might be a possibility. Ings look almost as wide as Greddy and unfortunately are really boring.
