Exclamation C-Series + Sportlines? Help

Ok here's my situation...

My bumper is in, less than perfect shape, some spider webbing and scratches etc...My car is lowered with sportlines, and this summer I am planning on changing up the front end. I am a big fan of the C-Series front end, but I am worried about my ground clearance. I have the full sportline drop and the car already scrapes w/ my gt500 splitter.

So. Does anyone on here run a C-Series front end w/sportlines? If so, how bad is it really?

Also I'd like to see all kinds of pictures because I'm thinking about buying the bumper and going from there


*Too lazy to search all day

I have the pro kit and its to low. You would hate life if you put the C-series front bumper on your car with the Sportlines. I would change out your springs if you decide you wnat the bumper.

The sportlines are going to be too low with this front bumper. I think the max you can get away with would be the prokit, and even then you are going to adjust your driving style.

Holy hell USMC, heaven forbid you come across a speed bump.

But, I must say, sexy car.

I really want to do the gt500 swap, but it is pricey
