I'm deciding between two body kits and the one thing im concerned about is clearance height. I was wondering if either of these two kits are extremely low.
The two kits in question are
-AIT Racing 99-03 Mitsubishi Galant Body Kits-VIR Style http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product/272/AIT_Racing_99_03_Mitsubishi_Galant_Body_Kit_VIR_St yle.html

-99-03 Mitsubishi Galant Cyber 2 Complete Body Kits
http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product/9176/99_03_Mitsubishi_Galant_Cyber_2_Complete_Body_Kits .html

Thanks for any help also if you would post which of these kits you would get or any issues you may have had with them.

Where are you located? It also all depends how low your car is to the ground. Are you dropped on springs or coilovers? Do you plan on lowering your car in the future?

They look the same. So do you want them lower? Or higher?

What makes the difference is your suspension. Stock height, or lowered?

You should consider getting an air suspension if immediate height adjustment is your primary concern

i really don't want to raise it though due to the fact that you have a large gap between you tire and wheel well but i don't want to lower it either

your going to have the same gap between your tire if you put on it or not, if you like the gap you have now

I understand i do have some gap already with it being stock height but i am worried if i do raise it even a small amount that gap will begin to look odd. Also the only thing that is different on them is the side skirts as far as i can tell.

If you can find a set of GTZ springs and get a set of 18's or 19's you can get a balanced look without sacrificing the height

I don't really mind the gap, most people wont notice it and with the snow here lowering it to the point where the gap would be almost non-existent isn't an option.

I'm guessing GTZ springs are hard to find?

if I can drive around in 8 inches of snow in south dakota, and be lowered, you can certainly do the same lol you're only a state under

GTZ's sit a bit lower but not like lowering springs. Maybe someone with a GTZ who is lowered is willing to sell.

I had my car lowered back when i lived in Nebraska without any clearance issues. Otherwise i think i still have my stock GTZ springs in the garage somewhere.

How about instead of a body kit...go VR4!

OEM FTW.

^meh.. not everybody has that kinda of money to go oem honestly. and everybody goes jdm here, which isn't bad at all, I went jdm because I wanted to be different where I drive, not on the forum.

The OP says he doesn't want to be low, with OEM he won't have that issue. Like you said...out in public...normal Galants are everywhere. So he'll still get his different look.

Also i dont really want to go with a vr4 look due to the cost and i prefer the look of a bodykit rather then oem

how come the pics won't show unless you open them in a new tab?

Those aren't .jpg's.

Also, going with the VR4 look is never a bad thing:

Pics or ban is an internet saying. Hes not being serious. Although, if you do post pics of your car, I may or may not ban him for a day. ;)

I guess forgot about him not wanting to go lower.. But the new style bumper was about an inch lower in the front for me.

I've manage to search for your pic but did not allowed me to save it nor embed it on here. I then pushed the PrtSc button on my laptop to save it in my paint program, uploaded on photobucket and then post it here.

And while I'm at it, are you certain you want to keep it stock height?

thanks i appreciate it but yea i am positive about not wanting to go any lower. I'm worried if i do lower my car the snow in the winter will rip the front bumper off. Is that a photoshoped image of it lowered?
