If you are low on coilovers like I am you will definitely have issues with scraping. The 3D M-sport front lip is lower and sticks out further than the paper box you are using.

I think not having the splitters would make it much less likely to scrape though.
Sorry to hear this Evan. I am surprised to know the splitter got shattered as it's made of carbon fiber. Are you getting a replacement?

Thanks for you insight. Since I am only on H&R springs and not that slammed, I hope it will be fine. I am only going for the lip and not the splitters.

From my test I used a 30mm high box and I got advice from 3DDesign that the lip is 15mm in height. So I guess pretty much I am safe. Lip will be arriving in a week on so. Let's see how it goes. Thanks again, Evan, for your advice.
