    I once destroyed a Volvo lip in less than a week at STOCK ride height
    God damn iS lip is durable. Scratched up as hell, but durable (on billy sports/eibach prokit)

        Your car bottomed out won't be enough for it to ever touch the floor.
        It's about how you drive and avoiding obstructions.

              This man speaks the truf.

              I've had mine for a number of years running h&r sports and it has never come off while driving. The ends (lowest points) are scrapped quite a bit though, however that's expected with aftermarket springs.

                I'd be more worried about it being stolen.

                  I don't know how you guys scrape on driveways so much, do you known that you can't pull in to them straight?
