Chin spoiler on a lowered car?
I was wondering if anyone had a chin spoiler on a lowered car. I'd like one on my car. I've got the ford racing springs on it, and it sits fairly low. Anyone have this? Do you have trouble with tearing the chin spoiler up?

springs are only part of the issue. tire diameter needs to be considered too.
I have the lowered springs with 255/40/19 tires and a chin spoiler and I have to be careful when pulling into driveways...and I cant go over parking tire stops like perternorth..

I'm riding pretty much stock (height wise) and i scrape the bottom side of my chin spoiler quite frequently. I guess it all depends on wha chin you're going with. Or, i may just be a sh tty driver in a pothole infested city.

Ugh, yeah don't even get me started on potholes. Some of our roads up north might as well be dirt roads they are so torn up.
I'll be added either the CDC classic or legend splitter in the next couple of weeks. Let's hope if I go with CDC it doesn't get nailed with too much debris.

I've got the Roush extreme lowering springs and a CDC classic chin with no issues so far. I was surprised too because my folks have an extremely steep driveway with sharp banks and I can make it up/back down just fine if I pay attention to what I'm doing.

It depends on the road conditions where you live. I hate driving in Lubbock because there is no drainage system and the solution is to have steep entrances into everything and make huge dips in intersections to collect water, genius I know. I have to turn slowly and take everything an angle every time I turn into something to avoid scraping. But when I'm back in Dallas I don't have to worry since the roads aren't crap.
Ultimately as long as you're careful you'll be fine, it's just a pain sometimes.
