you cant find the c4s?! i search constantly on ebay. only the aero and the stocker is what I've found! are you certain there are 100$ c4s lips on ebay? because id like another please lol

James88

I dont mind the way it looks but sick and tired of destroying the stock one, Ive gone through 3 in less than 3 years !!!!!!!!

Stock suspension, wheels and tyres and heights at the correct measuring points are normal, but my front spoiler always seems low though there's nothing obvious to make it that way.

I am still scraping at the front corners with the C4 lip spoiler....

mcbit

My C4S never touched anywhere that I can remember. Just remember that, with the C4S spoiler to, approach at 90deg as an angled approach will only make things worse.

James88

I thought I tried every angle, but I will make a conscious effort of not doing the 90deg angle and see if it that makes any difference.

i always scrape on driveways and have to 90 degree it and it's funny as no other driver understands these peculiar wide angles we need to navigate, oh say even getting in/out of gas stations.

but i dont think the highest sections ( the ends of the curvature ) of the spoiler are much? if at all lower than the stock one? there's always gonna be some scraping instances if you're lowered. i've gotten pretty good. this current c4s lip has been on for a cpl years! woohoo. but time to begin the search. i'd like not to pay 250! as i just had to buy a rocker panel eaten by a boulder. more 250$ rubber for the car lol

The low point on the C4S spoiler is about 12" behind the low point on the turbo spoiler which gives you a much better angle of attack on ramps provide you attack them straight on (90deg). The angled approach which helps the turbo does not help on the C4S.

James88

Attack them straight on it is...

Something's up, because your front lip is considerably lower than expected given stock components.

mcbit

Nuthin' looks wrong.

Dock

If the vertical rise of the pavement is steep enough such that the pavement clearance to the car body (the front spoiler lip in this case) is reduced to "zero" prior to front wheel contact with the incline, then the lip is going to scrape.

If for example the pavement clearance of a front spoiler lip is 5", and the distance between this low point and the front tires is 33", then given a perpendicular approach to an incline that rises greater than ~5" over that 33", the lip will probably scrape. The advantage of an angled approach to an incline is that you effectively decrease the 33" distance so that the rise over that "new" distance has to be greater than 5" before experiencing a scrape. The lower the angle of approach, the better the chance that your tire will start up the incline prior to using up the lip-to-pavement height, even if your lowest body-to-pavement clearance is, for example, 20" from your front tires versus 33" from your front tires.

Dock

I'm not suggesting it's a bad thing, just different. The answer to why it is different is out there somewhere.

James88

OK, I tried this "attack them straight on" method and it worked in my steep driveway at home but not at the driveway at work, had to take a much larger angle and then it was fine.

Thank you for your advise.

I've only had an issue in the turbo at two places and the C4S had been fine at both of those.
