Yaris Hatchback Clearance Height

Anyone have problem going over bumper or some area if the yaris hatchback got lowered with eibach spring and front bumper, side skirt installed?

I have eibach spring installed already, but not sure will the yaris hatchback go through bumper easily with additional aftermarket front bumper and side skirt installed.

What's everyone experience with this?

Mine's pretty low and got front + side skirts, I find I can go over most bumps without needing to go at an angle or going really slow. Perfect really!

Mines not lowered but I have trouble with some entrances into parking lots with my front lip. My new rims actually raised the car maybe an inch and now I have no problems. It will probably depend completely on how steep your approach / departure angles are because of the stubby front / rear on the Yaris and how the roads are built in your area. Around here theres huge variation on entrances some being not bad at all and some I dont even try at all.

the yaris will fare better than the great majority of small cars out there when its low! That short hood makes going up inclines a little less scary.

that is very true, there is almost no front or rear overhang with the stock bumpers.

ive scraped my front bumper with stock height, stock 14" wheels. some places i simply avoid going because i hate hearing that "grrrrhgggkkkkkkkk" sound. unfortunately, most of them happen to be fast food joints haha.
