I'm so scared of this, I'm going to install my kit and paint my car soon... i want to lower it but this is exactly the reason why I'm hesitating, this and parking of course.. this is seriously making me think about getting air ride... but then again i have a nice set of coils all ready

it's not so much the scraping, as the thought that I'm holding everyone back and creating road rage that bothers me

I got stuck once so bad going in for an alignment, i got up the ramp and all four wheels were not touching anything, see sawing right in the middle for a few seconds i thought the car was gonna break in the middle like the titanic. There's good things that come with being ball *** low, the funny moments that come with it

my car is much lowers than yours and i have only gotten stuck once. My front bumper was pinned into the street going out of a dangerously steep driveway. Personally i feel you have plenty of room to go lower. It sounds as if you have coilovers so if after you lower it you feel that its too much of a hassle. Just raise it again

I think you just need to learn how to drive a lowered car
oh trust me... i've driven my shares of lowered cars before, and this is the only one that i scrape underneath in most of the speedbumps here where i live...

Damn, reading this makes me just want to keep my 19s holding the body high in the sky...with my 1JZ making it feel like the front wheels are coming off the ground.

I have been looking into suspension but I cringe everytime my exhaust midpipe (blitz nur spec R single exit) scrapes...I can hear my heart cracking!

Anywhoo, get 3 wheel motion hydraulics dog, then go show those mean parking structures who runs the skreets.
