New Amuse/Ericsson Bumper Advice

EOE90 · 05-05-2008, 01:35 AM

Soo... I got this bumper through retrodrives new company Exec Studio for bimmerfest, and i find myself worrying about going anywhere in my car since its clearence is like 4 inches off the ground. I currently have Tein S-Tech springs and the Amuse bumper.

SOOO do i keep the bumper and take off my springs
or
Take off the bumper and reinstall the ACS Lip?

Would it look weird without front springs?

Is that a Ericsson Rep bumper ?

EOE90 · 05-05-2008, 01:37 AM

You keep the bumper and drive like a grandma over bad roads/ incline.

EOE90 · 05-05-2008, 02:08 AM

haha no dude, i cant leave my community, theres a speed bump in front of the gate haha, trust me had to do some mcguyvering before bimmerfest

Amir87 · 05-05-2008, 03:57 AM

Damn dude that sucks.

Ok, sell your springs and get coilovers. That way you can fine tune the height.

keep the bumper...
coilovers!

heyitzdrahcir · 05-07-2008, 03:37 PM

Why don't you just keep the springs and bumper, ride low, and scratch everywhere you go? Scratches and scrapes aren't that big of a deal. My friend has a Miata with a 1.7 inch clearance in front and scrapes every other minute.

im spencer · 05-07-2008, 03:38 PM

If you ever decide to sell that front bumper, let me know! Btw you're car was looking sooo bomb at Bimmerfest, never have been a fan of the ACS front lip it just looks tacky imo

im spencer · 05-07-2008, 03:39 PM
