    toms bodykit for 98-00

    does anybody have one with stock springs? what's your ground clearance like? I'm interested in maybe getting one of these kits but I can't have it hitting speedbumps and climbing curbs... although that happens sometimes now with my stock springs :rolleyes:

    ok.. measured.
    my stock bumper sits at 25cm (9.84in) above ground.
    oil pan sits at 18cm (7.08 in) above ground.

    now for somebody with the kit to measure.

    edit: looking at pictures it seems like it sits 1.5" lower or so.. which is fine..

    but

    now that I've done the finances of this whole thing I'm not sure I can afford it any more. My budget was $900 and I went over that easily.

    Kit 375 +200 shipping
    Headlights (cause I have an 02) $120 +30 shipping
    Parking Lights $10 +20 shipping
    paint 200

    That puts me at $955 assuming the kit fits perfectly out the box which is impossible. Meaning another $200 in body work. :(

    i would measure for you if i have my stock spring.
    I'm running trd spring with kyb gr2 struts.
    I'm have Tom's side with 12cm for the lowest poing, and a front lip that is not Tom's with 12.5 cm.
    as for Tom's rear lip, it's not that low anyways, so i didn't bother measure it.

    stock set up you could easily make it over speed bumps and so on...the lowest points are directly around the wheels mainly in the front. I am nearly fully lowered on ground control coilovers so i cannot make it over speed bumps.

    thx for the feedback. I've decided to try getting the TRD kit instead.

    I've had my stock suspension hit speed bumps before.. I just gotta be very careful I guess :(
