Stage 2 & 3?
Does anyone know if the splitter / sides on the Stage 2 or 3 is lower than the Stage 1? My driveway is pike's peak, so I can't do anything that would make my Z any lower ...

Not only is the Stage 2/3 splitter lower, it's a little longer, which reduces the angle of approach...

Side skirts (stage 1 or 3/4 skirts) lowest point is right behind the front wheel and is 5 inches
Front splitter is not the same hight all the way across. The very dead center is 5.5 inches. There are two sections between center and wheels that reach a low of 4.75 inches.
The stage 1 (poverty) poverty splitter had no area lower that 5.25.
I also removed the long center air dam. That was a 3 inch clearance but is ok scraping. The air dams are the only pieces I have had scrap. I don't expect any rubbing of the splitter (yeah, I know, famous last words)
Hope that helps,

I just completed the stage 2 front splitter (ACS Composites Z06) in carbon fiber. After install I measured all round.

Question: Was it lowered at all on either stock or aftermarket bolts? If not, that could mean around an inch closer to the ground for some of us...I'm lowered all the way on stock bolts

I did not touch any thing. So, no lowering.
After install I have had only one close call and that was a speed bump that I didn't see... I hit the brakes hard... probably just enough shift forward to cause a slight scrape on the bottom (I have the full air dam under the splitter). but nothing visible.
Other than that I haven't had to go crazy about how I get around objects or the road. I just have to be watchful.

That was one of the reasons I got Stage 1 on my Z06 for the higher front splitter the other is I am not a fan of the Stage 2,3 Rear spoiler too big IMHO!
