I'm dropped about 2.5". Leave it on. Yea you'll scrape it now and then but it's made of hard rubber and will flex. It serves an aerodynamic purpose.

Mine got ripped off the last winter I drove my MINI in along with the exhaust flex section in some really deep icy/rocky snow. That was the last straw. The next mod after that was a daily driver beater
