very carefully hahah jkjk it's not even that low!! i think it's at the same height or very close to my subframe so it's pretty protected from mild dips and bumps. need to do something about the front lip though :/ it's too high now

Yeah the sides do sit lower than the front, hmmm. That's the problem I'm gonna have when I pick up the BN sides, they side lower than the bumper too. Why do manufacturers do that!?

not as low as some of you maniacs but oh well haha. thinking of test fitting 5mm spacers in the rear and going with 275/35 rear tires instead of 275/30
