anyone catch an oil pan or drop a lip or anything of the sorts? if so what springs were you using? just curious

 

i killed a fly for being low :oops:

 

Don't go any lower then 2 inches and you should be able to get up most driveways and over all speed bumps. Any lower and you risk scraping like crazy.

I have coilovers on mine dropped about 2.5" and it's eating gravel on occasion with the stock lip. I'm going to have to raise it back up after I get the Kenstyle put on.

 

so u dont recommend tanabe's 2.2/2.0?

 

i dont want to hear about F'n recomendations! i want to hear about what you f'd up

 

calm down =P

 

attitude man!


if you are worried about being dropped then dont do it

 

Do what I do until I get lowering springs (which? waiting for teins) ...put cases of water (grocery shopping at BJ's Wholesale) in the rear...lowers it real good... :D The water in Orlando is nasty...I'm a bottled water freak.

 

im at 2.5" drop right now and no skratch's good luck!

 

If you want to not worry about scraping--DON'T GO LOWER THAN 2 INCHES.

If you are used to, or don't mind driving at 45 degree angles--then you can go however low you want--you will scrap though, no matter what at certain times.

I'm at 2.4--It's very difficult to keep from scraping the stock front...almost impossible at times.

My biggest accomplishment was the Longo service people hunting me down to tell me "Sir, your Scion is too low to get up on our automatic car wash, they will have to hand wash it instead". Needless to say, I gladly obliged!

 

again i do have springs.... not looking for advice.... just want to hear some stories

 

my driver side of my front lip is scraped on the bottom, u can kinda see it, just kinda looks dirty...stupid driveway in oakland

 

this is the kind of stuff i wanna hear

 

I want to hear some more too. I just measured the front and it's like 7 1/2 inches at the lowest point. Every other car at my house is above that. One is 9" and the other is 10". I'm having second thoughts now with getting a 2" drop. I have about a 25-35 degree incline coming in my driveway and think I might start scraping. Maybe the body kit wasn't a good idea on these cars.
