Those with Vertex kits; Can you make it over driveways, dips and bumps?
 
I'm planning on the half kit soon but think it would look a bit clumsy with the stock height. I'm going to lower it about 1/2 inch at most but I'm worried about major scraping. I'm going to make a decision next week.

You will scrape even at stock height with most body kits, since they bring the front end a bit down. If you're worried about scraping, stick with Urethane or PFRP... fiberglass will not survive 2-3 run-ins with a driveway.

I'm currently dropped about .8"-1" & going over driveways is not bad. My car is my daily driver & I don't feel I'm struggling over every bump. Obviously if it's steep, you'll need to drive carefully over a bump/driveway or avoid them if it's going to be a major issue. This is true even at stock setup. Personally, it's the dips that I hate the most & try to avoid.

So you think I will be Ok with a .5 inch drop?

Yes. I think you'll be fine but you cannot completely avoid scraping. It will happen.

I don't like the sound of that.

if ur not scraping, you're not low enough

i drop 1.5 and don't have any problem. How? always keep in mind this:

5 seconds will save you $500.

SLOW DOWN and drive 45 degree when you get to a driveway or bump.
