best front lip options for ground clearance?
Hi Guys,
I was wondering what are the best options for a front lip that provides some downforce but at the same time does not ride low and stick out too much for a lowered car (1.5") and doesn't scrape 'v' style driveways/entryways. I had the CS lip (before I destroyed it by driving over some debris) and not going back to something that is bolted on to brackets that hang low. Must be a lip that screws onto the bumper only. I was looking at the m performance lip, not bad but not crazy of the carbon splitters. Also APR has a nice lower lip but it seems to stick out alot. Just looking for opinions on the best option. Thanks, Steve |

Replica m performance lips do not have gaps even if you don't run the splitters, only OEM lips require the OEM splitters.
Replica CS lips don't bolt on brackets and CS lip is probably the one you'd as it sticks out the least. Aliexpress/Ebay sells the same stuff that most vendors do at 1/3 of the price. Don't go for name brand, go for what looks good to you. |

I just ordered an RW Carbon ‘3D style’ front lip. Greg had told me the clearance is reduced by about 1/2” total vs some of the ones that are around 1.25”+

I ran the APR lip and it has a ton of clearance. Definitely recommend that or the lightweight front lip, which is as robust as they come

Hi,
the XPH performance style front lip and the 3D both have good clearance.

+ 1 for the MP lightweight. I own & have other CF options but find myself going back for the same reasons…durability & peace of mind. If you don't like the matte black look, there are different finish options. https://ind-distribution.com/collect...er-replacement |
