Default Question for Hawkeye Owners with front splitters who's cars are lowered.

Hi

I have a JDM Hawkeye STI with a front splitter, im quite interested in lowering my car on some 18's.. For a little more fun and the looks.

I lowered my old MY03 STI but it didnt have a front splitter and I didnt have "that" many issues getting over speed bumps, grounding out on slopes etc.

I'm expecting my hawkeye will be be slightly lower with the splitter etc.

Have any of you had any real problems?

Many thanks

Vash

MY Std height WRX has a splitter, speed bumps are fine but slopes and driveways it occasionally scrapes.

Mine measures 135mm from its lowest point to the ground.Thats's with 18's and Eibachs,pretty sure my 05 was a bit closer to terra firma than that.You just need to be a bit careful and don't park facing kerbs always reverse in
