it's substantially lower.. photos all depend on how high the car is for you to really tell. i never measured the difference but i would bet it's a full 2" for sure.

i remember when i had GP i could drive into pretty much any shopping center and not get too nuts/sideways to make it.

with BN at the same height i would have to avoid some things and find smoother entries to places when i street drove it. haha it's not a big deal though. just go more sidewards. you learn how to make it work real fast.

BN + slight raise and it will be sick! my car with 18s upfront would rub the top of the strut tower supports and have like 2" ground clearance.
you'll probably have to raise it just to even mount the aero.


butttttttttttttttttttt it will be sick.
