Default How low is your front end?

How low does your front end hang from the floor (the middle...lowest point)?

Thinking of installing a BDR front spoiler but im already just 4” off the asphalt

I'm about 3" below the oil cooler opening. Probably a little too low. I hit it now and then.

Im worried about body damage if i hit the lip somewhere, since its directly attached to the body with bolts. Is there an alternative attachment method perhaps?

Mine only has a light aluminum sheet going from the bottom of the oil cooler opening to the cross member. it is flexible enough to give a little.

My oil cooler shroud is 3 1/4 inches off the ground. Yes, I have scraped it a few times.

I have one but have not installed it as yet. It will require some trimming to fit my front end. I have not been able to get myself to cut or drill anything in the lovely Tangerine paint on my VSE so far.
