nah whoosh, he's asking about the series 2 pursuit kits. not the pursuit 250 kit.
i just checked with my sideskirts sitting in my room, the same ones, looks like it will make the car about an inch or so lower. so it would be pretty damn tight. the kit in question

Yep thats the one, it doesnt really seem that lower.
It just looks like it takes the space between the bottom of the door to the actually bottom of the ute. Its tempting but I also dont want to rip it off first speed bump :togo: |

Go for it the only part may be lower is the bottom of the front bar. The skirts dont sit lower they sit wider.

Having got the same kit on the ute ... I haven't scraped the side skirts .. always the erxhaust hits first ... I haven't got a mark on my skirts.
Although not decked like yours ... I still see some shocking loading dock driveways and I bottom-out on a regular basis ... undercarriage hits first. You should be right.

I would just about guess that they don't make the ute lower. I've got BA XR skirts to fit an AU sitting here and they don't make the car lower.
The skirts are effectivly a U shape they attach to the bottom of the sill not making the car lower, just squaring up the sill, making it look lower. Even then you've got the chassis rails that are lower than the sill, and if not the rails the exhaust. But, a pursuit kit could be different. Cheers

You wont have issues with the side skirts as they dont sit lower, they square up the sill, they sit wider than lower.
How low is your vehicle? Mine is quite low and i never get issues with the skirts, always the exhaust and the front pods. |
