Which Lip will not fall off going 160 mph?

djpeetur · 08-06-2016, 02:48 AM

I just went through a frp trophy s1 lip by hitting something. Then Poly status gruppe lip going 120mph. I'm tired of buying lips. Which lip can I go 160mph on and not be worried

Barathon · 08-06-2016, 05:12 AM

Well if you are hitting stuff then you will probably continue to break them. However, I have the M Performance Lower lip and cruise around the Autobahn at speed all the time and have had no problems.

Yeah, check this out.

The sg lip folded down while I was driving. FML.

JamesGames · 08-06-2016, 10:41 AM

Seen this happen before on the Status lip, did you install all the self-tapping screws and the two bolt and lugs?

AM4ZING · 08-06-2016, 12:14 PM

I've taken the M Performance lip over 150mph+ on track with no problems

bmwtrix · 08-06-2016, 12:21 PM

Both blake9220 and I have taken M Performance Lips on our M3's over 140+ with no issues either!

the self tapping screw on the SG lip feel off. Because the lip was folding down while driving over 130mph. Im gonna get light weight lip since they have air holes in the middle. But jesus. 3 lips in a month.

The genuine m4 gts front lip that is mounted to the frame rail with an adapter plate.

I have a M performance lip and have gone 140 mph with no problems whatsoever!

apexit · 08-06-2016, 08:51 PM

i've had the mperf lip and it was super sturdy. I know i had been over 140 in it, not sure if i ever hit 160 or so with it.

Yessir · 08-06-2016, 08:57 PM

+1 on the M performance lip. Took it to 140 and maintained its integrity. Main reason I stuck to factory lip is to take the punishment and abuse it will see daily driving. In my experience, factory stuff is always more robust and durable than aftermarket (most of the time).

Same like RKP

Drew@Sonic MS · 08-07-2016, 03:57 PM

Dont use self-tapping screws into your OEM bumper, it's just not going to grab properly at those speeds. Force an OEM 8MM into the bumper and you'll be fine. Dont use the same holes you made with the self-tapping.

djpeetur · 08-07-2016, 04:01 PM

Going with the light weight lip now. It has air holes. So the lip shouldn't break off

Had this one, and due to the angle of mounting, it caused some nasty oscillations at higher speeds (110+)

Some members have played with it, but it seems that most people don't take their cars much faster than 100, or else I'm sure we'd see more instances of damage/vibration/overall issues with the lips. Just my 2 cents...

danniexi · 08-09-2016, 03:13 PM

haven't had any issues with the m-performance lip at 100+. haven't gone passed 140 though.

austexbmw · 08-09-2016, 04:26 PM

I know that the center section of the mode carbon Trophy S1 lip won't be able to withstand 140+mph on the track because mine came unglued in the center and end up cracking on both sides and breaking off about 6 months ago.

Nate@IND · 08-09-2016, 04:30 PM

Both tested in Germany at high legal speeds

RKP

Zubek · 08-09-2016, 09:16 PM

Did 250 km/h (155 mph) on many occasions on German autobahn with mine lip! No issues whatsoever. I had a lightweight before but wasn't happy with it since it was bending at very high speeds.

djpeetur · 08-09-2016, 10:34 PM

I had the frp s1 actually for 1 week with speed over 160mph no problem. But I woke up from a night out to find out the middle part is completely missing. Polyurethane prob is the way to go. But with vendors making so much money from broken lips why would you make Poly ? I'm on my 3rd lip in a month. Will see how long the lightweight last

we have seen a bunch of this happen where the center piece rips off,

a few of the best setups I've run personally, and heavily tracked with are-

- Oem splitters and undertray
- PSM Front lip ( one of my favorites and took a beating like no other ) its strongly reinforced
- Status Gruppe, I've seen mixed reviews of lips folding, not sure if it has to do with install, or maybe a bad batch but i didn't have that issue

- the new Rkp Gts front lip looks extremely promising as its based on the OEM GTS lip, so if looking for functionality and looks, id look at that as well

We also have clients who run the Vorsteiner Front lip with zero issues
as well as 3D and the Rkp front lip

plenty of options to go with, some better then others

if anyone has any questions regarding lips and which ones we have seen hold up and fail, feel free to ask
