HDB MSCPs not much of a problem... Its those shopping malls that have extremely steep slopes and humps at the end of them.. Can't be avoided, surely scrape.. Unless sacrifice looks, remove the BK or want looks, dont go for lowering..
Esp since Psyfool have diffusers on the edge of the lips..
And for me, even w/o BK, it'll still hit the centre part of the chassis in SC carparks.. Need to go extremely slow... A lot of disadvantage than otherwise...

if using 17/45 shld haf higher chances of not hitting stock bk coz gap from wheel to wheel arc is closer but front bk clearance is slightly higher. different springs have dif height too. apex is equally 30mm lowering for both front & rear while eibach is 35mm for front n 25mm for rear. hope this info helps.. if mine 120mm clearance then safe 150 i guess. well that is for my mscp. but if u fix bk but ur car still so high - DAMN UGLY. i saw a chevy optra with 17/45 wheels n bk. front bk clearance ard 200mm from ground. almost as high as our car without bk. imagine tat.. best if we can find bk with that has super strength juz for the front. aluminium lips maybe?

Aluminium will bend..Then will look even uglier..Best is PU lip..

If PU, usually come in matt black...if juz lip, then no need to spray..they no worries abt paint chipping..Provided don't mind 2 tones...

any one still wanna get the lowering springs? maybe we can get it together and see if can negotiate better price? also, B+G, apex, H&R, anyone have experienced them all? Which one is the stiffest and lowest? maybe compiling the results here will help all those interested~~
