Those of you with lowered cars
 

so my new car is lowered by an inch... i scrape everything. how do u guys deal with it? any tricks for going over speed bumps?

try going at an angle that helps sometimes but speed bumps are horrible. My g/f has a slammed focus and i always have to hit everything sideways otherwise the front and rear bumper scrape

skid plate!! i have two on form the k-member to the front of the trans pan and a other over the trans pan. and go slow over bumps and driveways also thing about getting a tighter exhaust.

i used to do the angle move. i'm at stock height now :lol:

doing the angle becomes second nature after a while. i'm lowered with lt's and sfc's that hang down to ~4" off the ground and i very rarely scrape anything other than the air dam. just takes time to get used to. take anything that might scrape veerrryyy slowly.

i just plan my route accordingly, and avoid anything i deem too steep.. My Tq artm crossmember is maybe 2" at most off the ground.

x2 :nod:

I put my stock springs back in. Couldnt stand scraping my y-pipe anymore!!

haha gotta crab walk over speed bumps. Also avoid all pot holes.

My car is at factory specs and I still bottom out. I try to go slow and avoid most of it but the roads are getting really bad. PSE&G has been doing gas line work for the past year and the roads are horrible. I'd rather drive on a cobblestone road.

go slow and approach everything at an angle, that works about 60% of the time for me

Also have a good exhaust shop or welder on speed dial!!

My car is lowered by time, so yea. Take my driveway at angle and speed bumps one wheel at a time.

60% of the time, it works, everytime.

yea, i just drie carefully and avoid speed bumps. my crossmemer that connects the two sfc's is mayyyybe 3" off the ground... but i cant change that now
