Some just be careful of steep entrances and exits.

I have never scraped driving down the road, but there are some driveways where my exhaust always hits.

I'm running a hellacious drop on my tC, DD (see profile, I dunno what the exact measurement is), and haven't had problems really. You just have to be conscious of your nose everwhere you go and you'll be fine.

When the f did you get an IS300 pooty? Or did I just have my head up my butt? DAMN I want one of the new IS350's.. I mean DAMN they're sexy.

just watch out with driveways. I'm lowered 2 1/4 inches.
Think Texas roads are bad..drive to OKC or Tulsa.

It all depends on how you drive. Going over the curb entrances or bumps you have to be slow and on an angle to avoid scraping.

whatmovesu · 09-07-2006, 05:45 PM

Yeah I am scurred for jon with those new wheels.

This is exactly why I am afraid to drop my box any. I have some KILLER speed bumps at my apartment complex and steep entrances at many of the places I go. I dunno how you guys with aggressive drop handle it.

Oklahoma is bad, but I think Arkansas has the worst roads I have been on...

Randy....

Lower your car brosef.
Seriously.

You will not scrape, and if you do manage to, your not going to hurt anything.
I mean, yeah pay attention in EXTREEME situations. But speed bumps? Negative.. not problem.

Those springs are not a super low drop compared to gold lines, or tanabes...
And nobody really has scraping 'issues'

Pooty is on bags, and recently purchased drag bars, He drags on purpose, and is a pimp because of it.

So... in closeing, go to auto zone, rent some spring compressors, and go to town!
You'll be glad you did.

BTW, I know a fella selling some of those if you don't have them already.

lol........... yea you left some paint in the DIS,ST driveway.

and on that bucket.

J_R_Ceja · 09-15-2006, 02:29 AM

mine's lowered and the only time i have problems is speed-bumps. it's even worse when you have passengers.

as far as the roads are concerned, just watch out for pott-holes and you'll be alright.

blck_n_blonde · 09-20-2006, 10:35 PM

you can get around any streets in dallas as long as you know how to drive a lowered vehicle.....

eov32885 · 09-21-2006, 06:44 AM

Mines is sitting on teins and I really don't have much of a problem, but I do have to be more carefull when i drive. especially those speed bumps and stuff
