Haven't measured.. but I have no clearance issues on stock suspension. Would still need to be careful around dips, steep drive ways, parking garages, etc. as with any chin spoiler. IMO the Roush front doesn't look complete without the chin spoiler, however it's an expensive piece and rather 'flimsy'. If you don't give enough clearance with the install screws, it can easily pierce the chin and leave a bump, won't puncture but it will leave it's mark.

I have a Roush fascia with the chin spoiler on a lowered car I've repaired the thing three times since the install, the last time coming off the dyno rack, it's a PITA and I kind of wish I had not installed it, I have no idea what Mineral Grey is talking about.

I've got to ask...
You said "agressive" chin spoiler, and roush only has one chin poiler that I'm aware of, and to the best of my knowledge the roush chin spoiler is the only one that fits the roush bumper.
The bottom of the roush chin spoiler is pretty much even with the bottom of the roush front bumper, so from that point of view, there really is no vertical clearance issue, however it does extend out further so you need to be careful coming out of driveways etc, especially if lowered.

There are screws behind the chin spoiler. I didn't do the install myself, but the screws either hold on the chin spoiler or a function of the front fascia. They are a few inches long and the points of the screws face the backside of the chin spoiler. The chin spoiler is made of a very flexible material that any tap will cause it to be pushed back and into the screws. If it gets tapped hard enough, it will cause hairline fractures in the paint. It's kind of hard to explain.
