Title: bumper too low
Post by: Ashp1989 on December 14, 2014, 05:34:51 PM
Hi. I have n aftermarket front bumper on my fd3s and its really low and im still on stock suspension, iv got some koni shocks and racing beat springs to go on which will lower approx 20mm, but id be fcuked when they go on. And seeing as im having my bumper repaired this week i dont want to damage it again as it scrapes everything now as it is..is it normal to be this low? Or will my stock suspension be sagging or something?

Looking at the front wheel arch gap, I would say that the cars sitting where it should as stock.

On a car with a different nose you would have no problem but that nose looks like it's been extended downward so sadly I think it's going to come to grief even with a little drop

its a shame as i like the bumper and will look good with some feed side skirts on it. But i think im going to need to go back to a stock bumper.
