I'm worried about scraping the underside after lowering it. How many inches can I lower it without scraping and rubbing? I have 18" Lorinser LM-1s.

BTW, I put Black Out tape on the grill to hide the vertical chrome by the Mercedes emblem.

Any recommendations for lowering. Never had any car worthy of being lowered so advice would be appreciated. Thank you wise men.

you can lower it an easy 1.2-1.5 inches without any problems of rubbing... scraping will be left up to your driving skills and how patient you are at driveways & dips...

Nice, we got the same style rims and same colored 430. I just got mine lowered today at TWS, 1.5" drop. 1.5" drop is perfect w/ 20" rims
