Is that too low if I put a lip with 2.75" lower ?
And what are the dimension of the 89-90 front lip ?

thanks a lot!

wouldn't that be 2.75" lower?
Your question is impossible to answer, it's individual for everyone. Is your car lowered? what are the roads like where you live? Example: my car is 1" lower than stock, no aero, and yet I can high center myself all over town becuase the roads here are so bad, where-as my friend in seattle had his STi lowered so far that he can't go over speed bumps, but other than that, he has no probs.... it's all relative, there are too many factors involved, and even still, everyone's definition of "too low" varies.

i'm using the stock suspension and i live in quebec (canada), so the roads are VERY BAD!
I'll receive my front lip this week and it's 2.75" and the stock lip is 1.25"... I think it's a lot and i won't be able to drop my car since it'll be too low I suppose.

Ps: Yeah lower, sorry my english is bad

so what front bumper do you have?? My guess is you got a 91-94 front bumper with the stock trim lip that goes on the bottom and you want to put a 89-94 lip on?? If going that way, the lip will be super low. My car is lowered via coilovers..

Didnt survive 9 months

Time frame just meaning that it scrapes everywhere and gets tore up.

Yeah man! I've got a picture of your car on my computer. I really like it. The lip will be black, so it will help. But What is the size of your lip ? Cuz I mine is custom made but it will looks exactly like yours (I hope but that was my first idea)

EDIT: I own a 240sx coupe 1992.

Anyways, I'm looking to getting one too...Shouldn't be TOO bad if you put it on correctly. I've seen some scraping the hell out of the road but that's because they were put on halfassed.
