Remember you will scrape on every single little dip.
Your not lying about the scraping... I got a kit.. but just added a front lip on the stock bumper.... then lowered my car... Now my car (front bumper) is about 1 inch off the ground.. an inch and a half if i'm lucky... I scrape the ground on average about 10 times a day. I can only get in the drive way if I angle the car. And even then I still scrape quite a bit. Will 18" rims pick me up about an inch? I have 17's on now.
