Default For those riding low!

Hello fellas, this thread is for those riding low.
I just recently dropped my car on Tein SS coils and I have about less than half a in left before maxing out. I know most of you guys say these coil's dont drop low low, but for me, its enough! I was getting out of a plaza today and while angleing out, I didn't noticed a small pot hole and my left rear tire dumped in and i scraped the whole left bottom part of the car. I was wondering if there are any damages that can possible be done to my car because of this incident. I love how the car looks at the moment and was hoping I didn't have to raise it
I am sure a LOT of you guys have a lot more experience on this and my buddy told me his parents once ran over a parking block thingy ( those parking stoppers) and they scraped the bottom of their Sienna and it supposely messed up their alignment.
Can someone enlighten me?

How hard to you hit the dip/ pothole?

Only one way to find out. Raise your car and check underneath.

Hmm not really hard. Just like a scrape you would do when you scrape your front bumper.
I checked, just a few scratches from what I can see from leaning down.

Then i wouldn't be too worried, although I'd still take a look.

Some things to look for now is if your car is if its still driving straight, before you drive your car tomorrow check for any liquids under the car.

I'm sure its nothing according to your descriptions, but taking a look is better than risking it for being an expensive fix on the long run.
