Default Anyone lowered with 2013+ GT/CS front fascia?

Getting ready to lower my car within the next few weeks and was curious if anyone may have a 2013 gt/cs lowered? Im a little concerned about the front end especially my chin spoiler. Im thinking 1" front and 1.5" rear... Ive searched google and a few different forums but cant seem to find anyone with a lowered cs. My friends here are lowered but they have 2011, and 2012's. Any thoughts on this? All input appreciated, thanks.

What are you concerned about? Ride height? A 1-inch drop with an OEM front fascia is fine, even if you add a splitter. Just take due precaution when entering drive ways or approaching speed bumps, and you'll be fine. Oh yeah, I NEVER park nose first in a parking spot with a parking bump or curb. I always back in.

Thanks for chiming in bud! I was mainly concerned with the front fascia scraping.. But i always take caution even at stock height so hopefully i will still be able to ge over the speedbumps in one piece. Or just avoid them all together!

I lowered my 11CS 1.5 in the front and got one of these to help with parking nose first.

May not be worth much, but I shared your concern with my '08 CS. I eventually put Eibach Pro's on and haven't regretted it for a second. Like others have said, don't approach steep angles head-on and you will be fine.
