Adro Lip Question

[Tri5tate]

I’m jumping in here to ask if anyone knows how much lower the sides get with the side skirts from Adro? If you don’t know exactly, please measure the lowest point of the sides down to the ground and mention whether your car is lowered or not, and if so, by how much.

Would be much appreciated!

Verbatim from Adro:
“For the front lip, it will only be about 30mm lower in the middle and about the same on the sides. For the side skirts, it will also pretty much maintain the same ride height.”

Thank you!

For anyone seriously considering this ADRO front lip, the pain point I’ve found is the middle section, which although appears a little higher does stick out slightly more (forward) than stock. You won’t have to really worry about the outer edges.

I’m at stock ride height but have to reverse into my driveway & garage. If I don’t angle it exactly perfect every time I scrape. Current clearance is close to 6” from the ground; however, a bad angle equals near zero. And because ADRO fit is about 90-95% overall, the edges in the middle have started to crack in the carbon fiber due to pressure from the rubbing and scraping. Again, it’s all about driving angles, which I’m intimately familiar with coming from a 2018 STi on coilovers lowered over 2” from stock height. I am definitely more cognizant of parking lot situations I potentially put myself into so I don’t destroy the middle (nose) section exiting.

Shout out to @Meraki Autoworks who I purchased the front, sides & rear spats from. I'm definitely satisfied with the overall look but I was hesitant at first based on the potential drivability issues of carbon fiber. I finally pulled the trigger after much debate, but knew I’d have to pay to play…with carbon fiber…

@Tri5tate , lowest point of my ADRO side skirts is the rear portion at ~5” and have never had any issues high centering or scraping at stock height…

Welcome to the cracked corner club. Still yet to see one that hasn't.

Really glad to hear I’m not the only one & that it’s an actual common thing. I thought I was always being real careful, but now know it’s unavoidable…

Definitely not. There are four of us out here and we’re all cracked. I reached out and they said warranty is six months, a local shop could likely repair it for $500….
