Thanks!!!!

 

wheels are 16x8s (and are for sale)

and it was megan racing coil overs

 

so has anyone cut off the plastic trim that sticks down from under the front? Basically the thing that everyone is scrapping on... I would be able to keep my drop if that trim wasn't there... i wonder if it serves any purpose?

 

It's a wind deflector. Is it optimal to cut it off? No. Would you be okay? Yes.

 

I would prefer to keep that trim there. Id rather hear that trim rub and know I am getting close to doing more serious damage; then not hear any warning rubbing and then scrape my oil pan.

 

That part of the trim hangs much lower than your oil pan I believe and it doesn't add real protection to your oil pan. You can use it as a warming system I suppose but as far as the real purpose, I believe it's more of a wind deflector to route the air and not lift the car from underneath for stability. If you want to go real low, you're gonna want to put a skid plate anyway to protect your oil pan.

 

I have trimed about half of mine off. My home made splitter rests against it..
Part of what is left is cracked in the center area..

 

HUmmm

maybe i'll trim half of it off.

I think you'd have to be going really fast for you to loose some stability.

AFter i lowed the car, everything seems stiffer... like turning the wheel is stiffer. Do i need to do an alignment?

 

Every car made has one of some sort up under there..
I always thought it was to create some sort of up-draft to pull air up around engine area to help in cooling or something..

 

finally able to post here.
