Oh yeah, I accidentally lowered my car too much, got the Stance coils on in the front and it was too high up, I was embarrassed to drive with the bumper 4" above the ground. So after lowering it, it ended up being 2" above the ground.

I got out my driveway but I couldn't make it back in...had my cousin guide me through and I was even gonna drive on the grass, but that still didn't help out cos I couldn't make it to the grass.

This is why having an aftermarket bumper sucks with certain driveway, you literally can't make it up and will get stuck. I was gonna leave it at that height until I couldn't make it in. Not only that, the brackets for the sidemarkers were constantly rubbing on the tire....and that's with having part of the bracket shaved off.

If I had 19's the bracket would be no issue. If I had an OEM front, then I'd be able to be that low cos the shape also differs than the Karookie. Oh well. I'm still happy with what it is, but it was nice seeing it sitting on rim practically..it actually was almost sitting on the tire lol...coulnt even stick a card between the tire and fender....dont have a fender liner so thats even less space lol

No no, I meant since you're running more of an aggressive setup and just from the pics it looks like the wheel may not clear or it would sit in between. My wheels for instance look like they won't clear and they barely do, sorta...goes inside the fender buts scrapes there lol. I was just wondering if it fully cleared the fender and tucks in.

That's how my car was lookin....in the fronts. and that's exactly how it will look when I drive when I have bags. Will definitely be goin with flat faced wheels with a reverse lip. I love the step lip but the reverse lip really shows off how wide a lip is. Only b*tch of it is doing the fender work, cos I wanna get at least a 7" lip with some low offsets.

Well at first what i meant was that it hits the tire so it wasn't allowing it to go any further.

But then after i got to my girls pad i dumped the car when i parked and the fenders decided to slide over the tire so now the fender is basically sitting on the wheel lip. it doesn't sit right int he middle of the rim and tire

Yeah, that's illegal for the city to do that to me lol. If it weren't the case, I'd do something to keep the tires from rubbin on the sidemarker bracket. As for the bumper, the bottom portion would need to be cut alot cos it was clearing but about 3" and on from the bottom part it gets stuck...and I got another 4" or so to worry about. Fail. I really don't know how some people *ahem, like Shane* do it.
