Greddy ride height?

Many people are concerned with the ride height after installing the Greddy bumper/side skirts. I tried searching and couldn't find any definite answers. Can someone please tell me once and for all how low the greddy bumper is on stock suspension?

Also a lot of people who have the kit buy aftermarket coil overs. I'm not very familiar with suspension, are they using these coil overs to raise the ride height or just to stiffen the suspension to prevent the greddy from scraping?

coilovers just let you choose how stiff you want the suspension

Well how do people lower their rides? Use different springs on the coilovers? Is it the springs that change how stiff the suspension is? I'll have to do some suspension research.

Come on now people, i know members here have the Greddy bumper installed!

All coilovers allow ride height adjustment. Only some of them allow dampening adjustments.

Im not sure, i hope someone with the greddy bumper will chime in but i know that bumper sits VERY low. esp, what you drop it on springs or coilovers, that thing is asking to be scraped.

i recently place an order for the front/sides and a kenstyle rear, none of whcih have arrived, but from word of mouth of someone that has it instlaled, they said the clearance on the front bumper on a stock suspension is a fist held up as if your holding a cup, and a little more. id say maybe 2 1/4 inch's - but ill know soon for sure

I read something similar, but the guy wasn't on stock suspension. My fist sideways is more like 3 inches. I think 4 inches in CT is the lowest you can legally be. If I were to buy something like HKS RS coilovers I could raise the car slightly higher than stock to make that 4 inches correct?

Thanks for the pic post, if you take more pics can you actually measure how high off the ground it is, cause the pictures it's hard to tell. That greddy front looks sick, can't wait til I get it on my dg coupe. Things out here in CT aren't always flat, so I'd still like to know how low it is on stock suspension.

How much lower is the Greddy front then the Top Secret Front? Does anyone know, they both look low, im tryin to decide on which one. And which springs or coilovers do you have that its only 3.5" off the ground?
