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

 

The V2 is freakin low. When I had my 06' the V2 would scrape everywhere I went.

 

i believe it lines up pretty close to the ings n-spec sideskirts... thats low.

 

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.

 

thats the only thing harder about the v2 for daily. it just sticks out more and u'll need to angle a lot more.

 

a cAnt hair more shouldnt really be an issue if your used to driving cars with kits

..i think there something you can attach to the bottom though...

 

^lol like i mentioned above. splitter... its used for aerodynamics? i guess? but im using it to guard my bumper from scrapes. lol

 

A V1 IMO "looks" alot lower than a V2. but the chances of scraping would be high on a V2 because the lip is so much bigger. I scrape like crazy with my V2 and its CF.......

 

What the hell is he saying?

 

Ding ding ding.....Teh longer V2 scrapes more because its about 2 inches longer[protruding] than the V1...I have the V1 and it looks a little lower than the V2 to me...I havent scraped even on slightly steep rakes but Ive only got it for about 3 weeks...I love the V2 though...Z looks classy with it on...

 

The V1 is lower than the V2

 

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?

 

both the V1 and V2 are significantly lower than stock

 

My V2 dropped on Tanabe GF210 is 2inches off the ground.
