Ha 2nd post today here... DId a lot of exterior stuff today.

So i'm on Tein flex coilovers with EDFC. I'm dropped, I dont know how many inches.

So i've go the rallyarmor flaps on and OMG wow the car looks like a sexy beast! LOL

the flaps will be able to handle whatever you throw at them-


If you ever want to raise them, just tap a set of holes under the stock ones on the flaps..

Costas is right.... My wagon is on STI springs (wagon springs ) and they do scrape from time to time when mounted on the stock mounting points... With no ill affects... You can't even tell that I have rubbed them on speed bumps had chunks of mud and dirt beat on them... Even in very cold weather they seem to flex just enough so as to not crack or break....

That is why we carry them... A quality product at a really great price.

No kidding? I've got a handful of friends up at Curry and I used to be up there all the time (pre-WRX). I'm surprised I haven't seen you there. My friends are all seniors but I have been meaning to go up there, so I'll go up this next semester and maybe catch you there. I used to have a black 300ZX that I brought up there a few times, maybe 2 years ago?

I thought you might have gone to curry, judging by your location and you saying that your school has a million speedbumps. Getting my old Z up that hill near the gym (past the Napkin center) was horrible. Can't wait to blast up it in the snow in the WRX

Aaaaanyways.... back to the topic.

Edit: D'oh! Double post. accidentally hit finish before I was done.

I had a similar problem, but I just redrilled mounting holes and moved them up a bit. It's very easy to do and it's nice not havving them drag all the time.

Public safety at curry is funny I used to always park in the faculty lot up to the left when you go in... what are they going to do, give me a curry ticket? What dorm do you live in?

I spent a lot of time scraping the RA flaps backing out of my driveway daily. I'd also scrape a lot pulling out of steep entrances/exits like gas stations. The flaps took every last bit of all that scraping and didn't crack or even wear away. They're great for that, and I loved peoples reactions when they heard it because they thought I was bottoming out. This was on Eibach springs.

Scraping your mudflaps is perfectly normal. They're merely chunks of plastic/rubber destined for abuse (so the side of your car doesn't get abused).

I'm rocking the Rally Armor flaps too. I'm lowered on AGX's and H&R springs. My driveway really sucks and I constantly bottom them out every day. No big deal, they put up with the abuse
