How low are you on suspension, and clearance at the front? Every time I see that bar I want one, but I might stick with just a facelift so I have less scraping issues.

Its too low at the moment, I haven't been driving it.

It should have about 8cm clearance at the front once I have raised it.

I've had it even lower and demolished the bar, even at stock height you have to angle stuff most of the time.

Looking sweet with all coming together now'

but why delilah?
Delilah (דלילה – Dlila, Standard Hebrew meaning "[She who] weakened or uprooted or impoverished" from the root dal meaning "weak or poor")[1] appears only in the Hebrew bible Book of Judges 16, where she is the "woman in the valley of Sorek" whom Samson loved, and who was his downfall. Her figure, one of several dangerous temptresses in the Hebrew bible, has become emblematic: "Samson loved Delilah, she betrayed him, and, what is worse, she did it for money". Madlyn Kahr begins her study of the Delilah motif in European painting.[2] The story of Samson in Judges 13-16 portrays a man who was given great strength by God but who ultimately lost his strength through the Delilah's shaving of his hair. Samson was born into an Israelite family, the son of Manoah and his wife who is never named. Both are visited by the Angel of the Lord and told that their child will be a Nazirite from birth.

If you run at stock height, its not too bad. Im running apexi lowering springs (2.5cm drop) and the front bar id 12cm off the ground. So, I guess 14.5cm clearance with stock height.

I'm at stock height with that bar, I have to angle for most shopping center drive ways, and a lot of normal suburban driveways, but it's not too much of a pain :)

I scraped it a few times when I first got it, but I hardly do anymore.

Thanks guys!

:D

Also for those who are wondering why did this douchebag make a blog, I did it that way because I wanted it to be easily viewable for members that aren't on the FTO forums so I can copy and paste into Facebook links etc.
