Default TRD Lowering Springs + Pot holes

Very soon I will be new proud owner of a xD!!! I'm super pumped and have already decided on the types of add-ons I want. I'm definatly a car girl and loooove working on them. I pretty much know what I'm getting myself into with this car, buuut there is one question that is in my mind

Will the lowering spring give me any problems with pot holes?????

I have talked to a couple people saying that having the springs will make me ruin the bottom of my car (since I live near Chicago they are everywhere)!

Help me out!!! I'm wanting to get my new car at the end of this month! so i need answers people!!!!

Hey im in NYC with the TRD lowering springs and I have no problem. Ive never bottom'd out. I think youll be OK with TRDs but if you decide to go any lower you may have some issues.

Do you plan on getting bigger wheels? Because theyll raise how high the car is.

Too be honest though, try to avoid potholes as much as possible. Not only do they suck, but they will wear out your suspension faster and theres always the chance of cracking a wheel.

Im in Boston so I was worried about potholes too. But I just put DF210s in and they are not a problem at all.
