Default Driving with Body kits

How often do Body Kits hit the ground? If you don't slam the car would you have a problem with it? Are there some body kits less aggressive than others?

no to body kits! it depends on bumps hills ramps driveways. it wont hit the ground if its on flat surface. most body kits looks ugly to begin with without a drop it looks even more stupid. less aggressive body kit YES its called a lip kit.

don't get it like sfanzgiants said... but if u must go with one, make sure its FRP and not fiberglass. FRP material can twist and bend and not brake. unlike fiberglass its too sensitive...

I guess it's new but extreme demensions is making some new thing that can bend is that all their body kits or just a selection? Are there other high quality brands because most of E-d's are really dramatic.
