Body Kit + City driving conditions Question

Cafiax

Hi guys I'm kind of new at this so sorry if its a stupid question. I've been looking into the Amuse Body Kit and it seems like the body is VERY VERY close to the ground. Since I will be mostly driving in the city I was wondering if the ramps/speed bumps would damage/hit the front bumper? I'm not quite sure if the body kit is height adjustable or is it made for track conditions only. It looks really awsome and I would love to get it but if it makes driving in the city for an everyday car a chore then I would reconsider.

Thanks any help would be appreciated!

it seems like it is very close to the ground? correction - it is close to the ground haha

but driving it around isn't too bad imo. be careful taking ramps, avoid stupidly high speedbumps when possible, etc. and you'll be fine.

unless u drive like jamaica, in which case kiss ur front bumper goodbye

lol so going down city ramps onto the main roads should be no problem? Cause I remember watching some video with the Lexus LFA where you can hear the impact of the front bumper as he exists the dealership LOL I hope that wouldnt happen with the amuse.

koo aid time lol

phelan

i've scraped a few times. no big deal to me though. again, if you play the angles correctly, and plan your route out in advance to avoid the really big drop offs in ramps, etc., you'll have no problem with this kit.

i said i wanted tiki punch dammit

I scrape the front on stock height and stock body.

The car in the picture is slammed, that ride height would be hard to live with even on the stock body with the little flaps on the front bumper removed.

Here are a few shots I took of Phelan and Kevin's Amused Zs for your viewing pleasure, their drops are pretty reasonable and in my opinion would not be unreasonable if you are a careful driver.

It really depends on your specific drive. I wound up losing the front lip on my s2k and wasn't even terribly low, even though I was a pretty careful driver.

just do it and be careful like the others have said...

and if you think those Z's are low...i saw one of these in new york city the other day...
