      I can't go that low. My volvo lip sits 5in above the ground and cheese grates itself coming out of the driveway.

        Yes, and I live on a dirt road in NH. Suffice to say I will not be ice racing this car this year, hence the IX for the snowy months. Even with sport springs that thing has FEET of clearance in comparison.

          I've been watching this thread as I want to get a Volvo lip to replace my now-missing (and previously tiny) 318iC lip. However, I have to ask: where did you get that cool M42 emblem?

            I live on a small private road, and its pavement is glorified gravel, but it seems to be the turn ins for parking lots that always gets me

              What's your suspension setup like?

                  Bought it off of a member who was selling them on M42club.com. I'm not sure if they're for sale anymore, you can sometimes find them for sale here.

                      Maybe, but some i scrape on when im going like 2 mph... my tires arent very tall i dont think, might be part of it

                      but in any event it only scrapes on the real steep stuff every so often, ive gotten better haha.

                        What a bunch of fashion whores.
