Xenon Kit Mixing/Prep Work
I'm pretty set on getting the Xenon full kit for my car, however, I have a few questions. I read on here that this kit requires a lot of special prep work, but I couldn't find any information on what kinda work that is. Can anyone let me know if this is true or not?
Also, I have Neuspeed race springs, which gives the car quite a low stance. I'm worried that the side skirts may be too low for every day driving. Can anyone with a good drop and this kit let me know how low they are on the sides? I'm not worried about that front, it's not as low as other kits out, that's a big selling point for me.
And one final question, does anyone know what sides with effectively match up well with the front and the back? If these side are gonna be too low, I need to find nice looking sides that will look good and match well height-wise with the front and rear bumpers. Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 I have the Xenon bodykit on my car and it takes a bit more prep work than others, but its better than the amount you will have to do with fiberglass.
You shoudlnt have too much trouble with the sides and the drop, its the rear that I would be the most worried about. But I guess it depends on what the roads are like where you live. If its anything where I am then you should be looking at a lift kit rather than a lowering one ..........

what r u talkin about? the rear? not the rear bumper....no way, dont know how you installed it but the rear is not even close to the ground.
the sides are definitly lower, actually i have seen some people install the sides backwards
, so maybe that has something to do with it.
but you dont need to worry about the rear unless you have a 3-4inch drop...which i doubt
you shouldnt have any problems with the sides unless you have a mad drop, or a lot of peeps in your back seats, you should be fine, ive never had any problems with my sides
