man, i already have to go at an angle already at 2" down and i don't even have a lip kit on it? i kept on thinking i could go straight down on bumps but slow not VERY slow. i don't have a problem going at an angle on driveways, cuz i do that all the time. even some cars who are at stock height, their front bumpers almost touches the ground when they go straight down driveways. i see it when i'm driving by them. but the only thing is the other person trying to get in/out of the driveway will be hella mad cuz i'm trying to go sideways and i'm jacking up their side haha.

I got a 1.8" dropso heres the advice:

-GO slow on dips
-Learn to stop ur car before u touch the cement thing in parking lots
-Dont let your mom drive
-Stay away from steep driveways
-Dont take tight turns into dips
-AND NEVER CATCH AIR, ( i had 1 foot of air off of a hill at 60 mph = hard land on bumper)
-go sideways on dumb bumps

i guess i'll have to experiment around and take a chance of scrapping my front lip to see which way is the more appropriate way to manuver around bumps/driveways.

by the way, i'm not sure why the mods moved this to xa/xb suspension when it should be under tc suspension. cuz i'm getting some xa/xb replies but that's not what i really want. don't get me wrong, i don't mind your responses. they're greatly appreciated it, but it's different cars with different stock heights.


EDIT: by the way, if i go at an angle, how slow do i have to go?
