Default Anyone else bottom out on the freeways?

Note to self: Never go 85 on the 405-N passing Torrance... 75 I can do...80 and up count on killing my undercarriage?

73N towards the 405 too, Henry you probably drive that stretch, if you go anything past 75mph, it should scrape.

I've personally seen Henry go over that dip with no problems. Made me go . That one is really bad. Also it's bad going the other direction too. And there's a huge dip when the 55N goes into the 5N.

I'm not low enough to scrape, but my suspension does bottom off being too soft.

I usually slow down to 60mph

I've bottomed out there a few times. I think the dip on the right side of the 55N right before the 5N switch off is pretty bad too.
