who lowered it? how low did you go?

i lowered my car 2 1/4" and it was still high as fu(k in my eyes

get a set of height adjustable coilovers and go 3 inches.

i think 17s look sh!t go 18s or bigger if your budget allows it.

the price of 18" rims has droppped heaps the expensive part is tyres.

100mm is the legal ground clearance my car was 65mm from the ground and i didnt have much problems with getting around apart from my rear muffler, but the thing was huge. if you maintain the 100mm clearance you shouldnt have any problems

No problems scraping even at 65 mm? That's really strange. Because I have an r33 with the AERO STYLE CHIN SPOILER from UAS. I have coilovers, and even when i set them at stock height, it scrapes to the shithouse. I guess it is a bit different to your car though. The lip sticks out a fair bit. That must be the diff. Because on r32s, the front bar sticks in a lot.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
