Xenon kit and drop?

I have xenon kit and 17's i have it lowered like 2 inches right now. I want to drop maybe another half an inch, is there anyone out there that has the xenon kit, with 17's dropped more than 2 inches? Do you have major scraping problems? [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

ok .
fi if you get xenon installed it should be LOW ENOUGH with 2 .
if you are like daily driver , do NOT lower more than 2 . you gotta be carefull with xenon kit with 2 drop . you are going to scrape bottom .
2 is GOOD !.

I have the Xenon front but didn't want the sides because of how low they hang.....I just went with the OEM sides, which I should be receiving UPS tomorrow......
