ARK GRIP on eibach. What is the lowest point to the ground? HELP
So, Im about to purchase the ARK GRIP for the G37S coupe. I have eibach pro kit on with OEM 19 wheels. I was wondering, how low is the exhaust going to be in relation to the ground. How much clearance would I have. Also, does anybody have the exhaust and see that the right side of the muffler sits lower about 1/2 inch lower as oppose to the left? I live in Jersey, so I dont want to buy something, and then rock and dent, damage the exhaust, if it's too low. Somebody told me the lowest point is like the lowest point of the bumper in front of the car.

Dont know how much clearance you will have but I think you will be alright with the Eibach drop. There are guys here with that exhaust and are dropped on coils and springs that go lower than the Eibachs. They say they have no problem as long as they are careful going over speed bumps and driveways.

Even with the front bumper sounds about right. I'm pretty low and I don't have problems, though I do angle the car getting into my driveway just to be safe. I'm way lower than Eibach springs and I have no issues driving in San Diego, so I'm pretty sure you'll be fine.

With eibach's you will have very good clearance. Although the exhaust does sit lower than others, The lowest point is where the tire is which gives the driver more clearance than placing the lowest point in other areas.

At what point on the car does the lowest point start and how far does it extend until it is further away from the ground? While that diagram makes sense, it doesn't truly capture the length of the piping that remains at the lowest point. If you go over a high speed bump and the lowest point of your exhaust system beings before the wheels get on the speed bump, there may be a chance of scrapage.

My ARK cans do just barely nick the top of a certain speed bump at work, to be honest. Not like a scrape, just a little brush. It's not really any worse than other exhausts.

i have a sedan and the tips are perfectly even but the middle section where the two cans are (where the cross-bar thing used to be) it is tilted to the right a bit. but the tips are perfectly even
