how much lower is nismo v2 compare to V1?
I am in the boat of getting a new front bumper.
my car is lower with tanabe spring..about 1 to 1.2 inch drop.
so owner of v1, v2 or vendor check in. i m leaning towards v2 but i m afraid it will be too low to drive and i got big bumps at my UG parking. thanks

Im not positive on which one is lower or higher, but I know the V2 is longer, so even if they are the same height, you will have less clearance due to that alone. Im lowered 1" and havnt had anyproblems so far, and I drive ALOT

yep. i got the v2 with tein STECH springs, which are a more mild drop than the tanabes. i scrape just on deep and narrow driveways (cant angle cuz rear would get stuck on sidewalk and start burning out)... but i love the kit so much, its being repainted right now. thinking about putting on a cf splitter fron apr, not cuz it looks nice, but to protect the bumper from scrapes. if i scrape, ill be scraping the splitter and not the bumper.

The reason i ask this is becasue I have a really steep driveway in my apt. And they just recently added huge speed bumps all over the place. The one i am concern about is the 1st one out on a steep decline. I upload a few pics to show the clearence for now.
Do you guys think i will scrape??? i m really worry cuz i gotta go through it everday sigh!!
the question i should be asking is how much lower is v2 compare to stock?
