Classic CDC Chin Spoiler vs. Stock Front Facia
Quick question...
How much lower does the CDC Classic Chin Spoiler hang compared to the stock front end? I really love the spoiler but I may have driveway issues.

about an inch at most, my double sided tape is not sticking to my bumper and i have found that it actually helps me since the spoiler now moves up or bends down easier when i hit parking bumps and driveways

+1 I think it's saved my chin spoiler from several scratches.

+1 on having the spoiler loose in the middle - has saved me a few times also

I have the classic and my tape is rock solid. I've hit several things with it and it just bounces right back.
One suggestion though, I got mine in the textured black...so if there is ever a mark on it I just whip out the old trusty rattle can and touch it up. Good as new! Of course I have a black car so the flat black looks sweet on it.
Good luck

Installed my classic today...man, it does so much for the front end. I got the matte black, as I have a black GT. It took about 20 minutes to install and I'm pretty much a novice at anything auto related. It does only come down about an inch and I didn't scrape at the bottom of my driveway!
As for rattling, I don't know because I used the tape provided.

And there's always this one, bolts on to the bottom of the bumper, no adhesive, and clears a parking lot curb even on our lowered cars.

Classic for me.
Nope. Altough I'm sure it moves up or down ever so slightly while going over bumpy roads or with the force of the wind. You'll see when you put yours on that even with out the screws in place it will sit in position. It's a really well made piece.

I felt the same way about how the rear was jacked up so I went with a set of rear Roush springs which IMO took care of it

So you only put the springs on the back? Does Roush sell only back springs? Do you have pics you can post so I can see what it looks like? Sorry for all the questions!

That's good to hear. i have the clear bra on my fron end, and I didn't want to use the sticky tape on it in case i ever want to remove the chin spoiler. Sounds like i might be okay to just install it with the bolts and leave it untaped. Thanks for the info.

You have to cut your front facia for installation and it hangs lower compared to the classic.
Rash made a very good point. With the classic, if you ever want to remove it and go with the stock facia again you are able to do it. With the aggressive, once you modify the facia by cutting pieces from it, it won't be an install thats reversible. I prefered the classic just on looks alone....the rest is a bonus, IMO.

Roush does sell a set of rear springs (www.roushperformance.com) for $125.00. They are blue and the Part # is 401295. With the 18" wheels, the rear is now 1/2" higher. I think before doing the springs, the difference was 1 or 1 1/4".
