Default Lowering a no-no with INGS LX kit?

My GF210 springs arrived, but then I spotted a thread about the INGS LX kit being incredibly low. Well, this is the kit that I'm planning on getting, so the question now is: is lowering a no-no with that kit? Especially with GF210's, which'll bring the rear down by 1.2"?

Sick, so the INGS will be on this week? I'd love to see it in real life.

for some reason i kept thinking you got a different kit. That central20 wing must've been the thing that got me confused.

Bodykit on a non-lowered car....

I rather lower it and not have a bodykit then installing a bodykit with big wheel gaps...

I'd still get the kit, but you will have to sacrifice driving like an animal...meaning you're going to have to baby your car as u drive and be constantly worried about scraping everywhere.

not true - my car is way lower than just about anyone on here and I only take special caution when pulling into and out of steep grades

the front lip is lower than most, the rest of the kit is not. The tanabe springs are not insanely low....you'll be fine so long as you take some care in how you drive up and down steep inclines (driveways, parking lots, etc). Even as low as my car is, I still never scrap speedbumps

Alright, so INGS LX... what kinda drop then? Is it more than the GF210's 1.2"? I just wanna confirm because I'd really hate to go through all the trouble of installing the springs just to have to take them off after. I also wanna be able to drive during the winter. I did just fine with Blizzaks last season, but I'm not sure how being lowered and/or kitted would affect that?

I'd remove any aftermarket body kit for daily winter use, especially in your part of the world

Actually, we don't really have snow on the roads in the winter. Maybe for about a total of 4-5 days per season. Its always plowed/salted off the roads with remarkable speed. But for those 5 days, I'd definitely be stuck at home. Oh well, I'll live.
