i've got the exact same issue.... i'd love to have either the STi Lip, or the FQWORX Lip (identical, but the FQWORX = Half Price) but it'd only last minutes before getting ripped of by a driveway or speed bump around Albany


Regards,

SiriX

Bit of a compromise there. Especially the multi-storey carparks in the city can be a pain in the arse.

Go for full coilovers, you'll love it.

The lip does hang a bit low. Or alternatively you can try getting the STi's stock lip. I think its rubber material and it looks a bit like the CF version without the CF surface designs, however only in black. You can actually anyhow bend the lip and it'll just go back in place.

Anyway thats what I saw when I was holidaying in Singapore where they had a 06 STi in a showroom fully kitted with all the STi goodies. Not sure if they have these lips at STi Australia. Don't see any reason why they wouldn't.

It looks ok but the looks is something you got to compromise if your car is lowered and you desperately want a lip. Otherwise go CF
