Gf210's from tanabe work just fine. I do scrape the flaps on some speedbumps and hit them in this divit in the parking lot we use for autox.

There is a discussion of my ride hight/height of mudflaps on this page of my journal: sti robots journal...autox videos added on last page

not sure, but I wouldn't worry too much about it (if you have the urethane flexible ones). when I slammed my car on BC coils I shortened my flaps because I was worried about them dragging. now that my car is raised again I made new flaps that probably have less clearance than rallyarmor + lowered

I have maybe 1" clearance max. you could always make new mounting points in the flaps to raise them slightly

what about on the DFs? anyone have any feedback?

carl s. · 03-22-2008, 03:12 PM

I would just get whatever spring you want and if you need more clearance take your flaps off and use a punch or drill to add higher mounting holes in your flaps - that's what I wish I did with my first pair instead of cutting them shorter

SoflaSTI · 03-22-2008, 06:52 PM

yeah, true but i just didnt know if anyone was repping them haha
Thanks for any comments
