body kit and drop question
hey guys
so i'm thinking about getting the extreme dimensions front and back bumper from aas. i was wondering how much lower these are than the stock bumpers.
the problem is, i want to also drop the car when i order new springs and struts. doesn't have to be alot, just enough to fix that gap in the wheel wells a little.
but i'm scared with that body kit and the drop it might be too much for driving around

With that kit first time you scrape the front you'll break the little vents on the bottom
