JCW body kit height?

Does anyone know if the jcw kit is any lower than the front lip ( rubber piece) thats standard on the S?

I ask because im considering the mod in the future but cant gO any lower as my car scrubs slightly on my driveway.

Thanks,

J

Thanks. Do you know if the bumper is lower than the rubber piece on standard kit? The jcw version doesnt appear to have the the same rubber trim which i thinks hangs about 2 inches lower than stock bumper.

I am not sure about your first question as I did not measure while installing it. Btw, JCW version has a rubber trim on the bottom that you can choose not to install if you are worried it will scrape on your driveway. Many people on this board removed it after lowering the car. It's held to by two plastic screws to the rest of the bumper so it's easy to remove after the fact...

Front is definitely lower that stock. There is a hidden air dam further back line on the stock car that also seems lower to me. But like Tata says... I haven't measured.

All I know is I have to be careful or I will scrape the front leaving my apartment building among other locations. I can barely get into my in-laws driveway unless I take extreme angles with stock suspension ride height.
