I have a pretty steep driveway and i was wondering how low exactly would my car be after the BMR lowering kit that lowers 1.5inches in the front and 2.0inches in the back could someone whos lowered their car this drastically please post pics?

 

how much will cost to install a lowering kit?

thanks

 

Uh, about 1.5 inches lower in the front and 2 in the rear?

You can figure out your clearance with a buddy if you drive your car to the point where the approach angle is the greatest and have him measure your clearance. Then subtract 2" and see how you're doing it. I have a feeling you'll likely have issues if it truly is steep.

 

Pull your car up to the entrance of your drive way, just before the wheels start to touch it, hop out of the car and measure your ground clearance at the front apron where it is the minimum. That is all you have to work with. Take the same measurement coming out of the driveway just before the front wheels hit the street. Take that measurement too. it may be better or worse.

 

If you have a steep angle on your drive way... even 1.0" lower in the front could cause you issues, I have mine lowered 1 1/4' in the front and I really have to be careful of drive ways on and off the street. Not only for the front bumper, but for under the car as well.

I have the Street Scene front bumper. Even though it's the same height as the OEM bumper, it's almost straight up and down along the front surface with a right angle lip on the underside. It comes in contact with objects several inches before the OEM bumper would at the same chassis height.

A lowered suspension is great, but it does require one to be a bit more careful... but, it's worth it for the look and the handling improvements. Modify the drive way to fit...

drive at angles up and down the driveway....

 

Of course we're assuming his driveway is higher relative to the street vs. lower. If his driveway is lower he could have bottoming out issues.

 

Also measure the mid point of car, about mid door. I was supprised how close that gets on my steep driveway too. If I had a body kit it wouldn't clear for sure. This drivway of mine kept me from buying a Saleen a few years ago. I pulled it up to driveway and couldn't go in. Had to pass on that one.
I just lowered my car this last weekend (Eibach) and it's awesome.

 

I lowered mine an inch but also added a front splitter so the front clearance is pretty low. My driveway entrance is pretty steep, it just requires me to take it at an angle coming in and out so one wheel is hitting the slope at a time. Not a big deal.

 

I have those exact springs. Here are some pics for you.


Hope these help you out, if you want any more pics, let me know, and I will take some more.

 

That looks great! Just the right height. Suits the car well!
