ride your cars daily? commuting to work, store, or where ever your hearts desire? i wanted to confirm this because a friend of mine says

"Two inch clearance isn't Streetable. They must be on airbags and just in the stopped slammed position. Anything except a flat street circuit course. Is all that will be able. My car is four inches from ground ( header three ). So..... ur wrong" ... "They are lying. Daily to them is Monday and Friday without any stops on a salt flat like surface"

but i know SOME of you guys ride daily wayyyy lower than two ince clearance anyways right? i'm talkin slammed. i just wanna prove to this guy that you guys do ride like this daily.


and just so ya didn't click this for any reason and didn't feel like reading i'll just post some pics for ya to look at that i have in my collection for my changing background on windows 7.

Which component on the vehicle with only a 2" clearance? Guessing from the pics you mean front bumpers/lip spoilers/splitters. It's up to each owner whether or not they can be mindful of the road conditions and know how to avoid or walk over speed bumps if needed.

In the Honda Civic I had, I had it flush...but not slammed, and the oil pan had around 2" of clearance. So I'd say that's not streetable. Downpipe had 1" clearance too...but that was at the flexi-section.

I've hit my rear chasis brace many times on all speed bumps and some dips on the freeway. It has about 3" clearance.

getting Tein S springs installed this weekend (keeping stock shocks). And i need to go over 10 speed bumps every time i enter/exit my bldg garage. so figure 20 to 40 speed bumps daily. there are a couple ferraris in the lot, so i figured a 2" drop with no lip should give me enough clearance.

these are the speed bumps (pic just so happens to have an IS in it haha)



specs for the speed bump: 3" in height.


should i be nervous? clearance may be the least of my worries. stock shocks + springs may take a lot of wear and tear.

^^^S-Tech's should clear most of the speed bumps if you don't go fast and with no lip
stock shocks+aftermarket springs life depends how the road conditions...
I believe it'll go for a while without breaking down

My car went lower then that and i was daily driving it, you just have to literally stare at the road when you drive, my front lip had no more clear coat on the nuderside from getting all scraped off haha

steezy

Daily slammed and cambered. Scraping is normal, rubbing is normal, and being stared at is normal. My shoes cant fit under my front lip and I repainted it 4 times within the past year. Being part of the slammed society is FTW

slamming your car with real wheels with real offsets does make you a better driver~ you wont be looking at girls/guys on the sidewalk/bus stop/other cars~ you'll be too busy actually keeping your eyes on the road
