Bodykit Clearence??

Just like to check with all RX8 owners who put bodykit on their cars.....usually how much ground clearence is left at the front bumper to avoid hitting humps and carpark slopes when moving around Singapore?

Like to adjust my suspension height but not sure by how much so hope you guys can give me some ideas
(I am using mazdaspeed front bumper)

I am on a veilside kit. Lowered 4 times till its present height of just over 2 fingers front and rear. 70% of road humps ok. Scrape over the rest. Have problems over some up/down slopes (eg. Plaza Sing). It also depends on my tire pressure and whether i have another passenger; that few mm counts. Genreally i only go to places whre i know i can clear.

I can imagine how low your car is as Veilside front bumper is really big. Scraping over bumper is normal i guess, the killer part is carpark, worry that my car will get stuck at one of the slope ha ha
