:2000 4DR TEG:

with a body kit, how low should I lower it?..

and how much did you lower it .. those w/ and w/o body kit..

 

dont go with a full out ricer body kit if your going to lower it...my opinion would be to lower it mabye about 2 inches and then put carbon fiber lips on it...thats what im doin to my teg and my boy did that to his 93 Supra and it looks a lot better than a full body kit

 

for one man dont watse your time w/ body kits they look like shit get a carbon fiber lip and mabe a rear bumper then just drop the car maybe 2 inches integras r the lowest stock out of any car pretty much if u lower it w/ a body kit it is bound to brake

 

yea bound! if its dropeed like 1.25 or 1.5 ull be fine! my buddy kitted his del sol and dropeed it 1.5 all around w/ tein's the only reason his kit broke was cause someone hit him and then sped away while he was pumping gas. that sucksed fixing that, but yea just a slight drop and watch how ur driving and u should be fine. its ur car, do what u want to it

 

Drop it four inches.... at least.

Seriously though, that's a judgement call that is entirely based on the design of the kit. From the standpoint of having enough suspension travel, I wouldn't lower the car much more than 1.75 inches for daily driving.

 

^yea no more than 1.75' if its going to be a Daily Driver...IMO i wouldn't put a body kit..just get a ITR Lip for your teg and bam!....

 

Or if you find a set of OEM sides and rear valences...go with the OEM look. But be prepared to dish out some money for the OEM kit....

 

Is the kit your plannin to put on fiberglass or polyurethane?

If it's fiberglass, don't lower it. Your gonna curb it no matter how carefull you are and the fiberglass will break, then fix it, then get annoyed but the body kit after a while be cause it looks awfull now (it's a slippery slope situation).

 

Dont Get A Front Bodykit Bumper. It Wont Last. I Had One On My Old Car It Broke Twice. Just Get A Lip. If You Dont Like The Itr Lip Get A Mugen Or Spoon. There Is A Lot Of Differnt Lips Out There, You Just Ggot To Look.(i Have A Cf Mugen Lip) And It Barely Scraps . I Will Never Buy A Front Body Kit Bumper Again.

 

I'm assuming cuz this bumper was fiberglass right? And when you say broke, do you mean it cracked or something?
