So no one is scraping and feeling it through their shifter? Why just me?

Shouldent be that much of a concern if you dont have a front lip. If you do, just take a look at stoofs front lip =/.

I actually measured my driveway drop to front bumper straight on and i couldent fit my att razr under it, not even when i opened it up and just tried the flip which is like what 2-3 inches? Ugh!

haha...nice! I've got a stock front lip and probably gonna stick with it, unless something comes out that just blows my mind. That's good to hear you haven't had any issues with it

Glad I happened to check out this thread. I don't scrape with my Tanabes. They are listed as dropping 1.0" F / .7 R". Can .2"/.1" honestly be that much of a difference, or is it more related to road conditions and driving technique?

Jeremy.... so I was parking at the Galleria.... the underground parking area that McCue dead-ends into.... Anyways I didn't hit it at a good enough angle when entering and I scraped hard the metallic scraping and the violent jerk in the shifter happened at the same time..... I would avoid that entrance at all costs.
