Well, common sense...if you can't stick ur foot under the car, chances are ur body kit will be kissin' the ground. OEM body kit might be ok. But anything bulky won't work.

BTW...someone post that pic w/ that funny CAP LOCK image...
Damn, it's just hard to read! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

hahaha how bout filling the bags with air and raise it up?
this aint no low rider.
if u plan to put on a kit raise ur ride up. ur gonna just scrape the whole underbody off and ur gonna be sorrie in the future.
a kit adds more body to ur car if its that low already it takes common sense.
please uncap. we dont need to hear u yelling at us!

how low is your car. my car was lowerd 3 inchs with ground control coilovers and when i tired to but my wings west kit on the side skirts were almost touching the ground. i then had to raise it up some. you most likely can fit the kit but will have problems getting a jack under your car. can be a problem if you get a flat.

whitecivic, is the kit painted? and how much?

and ya you could keep the bags inflated a lil but what happens if you accidently deflate it or it pops, you could kiss the kit good-bye... but i guess these are the risks with bags

dont worry... i can raise and lower it all i want =)... but the problem is i usually park deflated and i just wanted to know if 1 1/2 inches is enough to fit a kit.. and im also thinking about body dropping the front to match the back... and then might as well raise it a little if the kit wont fit
