squiffy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 what wheels / suspension do you have. i used to have the bomex widemouth and standard yellow bilsteins. when i had 17's on it hit everything, but then had 18's and it made a hell of a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have a stillen bumper and although the finish is not perfect it's as flexible as a stress toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DG3CKO ROB Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I was worried about this too as mines been lowered... went for the bomex and it sits just nicely above the kerbs at local carparks. Very happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
