Default Eep...

Ugh, I've bottomed out 3 times on my car, hearing the bottom hit the ground make me cringe (note: I'm not lowered), guess this made the decision on my suspension, not buyin lowering springs...hehe...it sucks, first thing I checked was my exhaust, then I went and checked the rest of the car, it looks fine, but its dark and I can't see much with my flash light, I know the car is designed to handle a few bumps but it still gets to me.

Not even that, its these stupid random events, like theres this place where the road is dirt, visually it looks perfect and flat, but when I went over it my car just dropped and hit it. Then theres this turn, and for some reason, whoever designed it, made it lumpy on the road, so your tires are bouncing on each side a lot, eventually the car hits the bump on the bottom of the car. I hope I didn't mess anything up. It sucks cuz its hard to see under the car.

After driving a slammed car for 4+ years, i don't think i'll ever bottom my stock hieght tC. hehe... just be careful of all dips and bumps. #1 Determining factor in the condition of your car is you and how well you decide to take care of it.

its a sports car its not made for the dirt
i have mine lowered an have lowered every car and truck ive owned and never had that problem more than once or twice , i think you gotta slow down a little and watch the road a little more

sorry im not trying to sound like a father figure i just dont understand how anyone could bottom out a stock height tC except maybe the front, you could fit some super swampers under em :mrgreen:
