    lowness of body kits

    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...VIR_Style.html

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