I mounted my front plate using a custom bracket to my front lip. Thus when I scrape the front lip, I usually scrape the bracket first letting me know to be careful or take another line.

Used to be way lower, got tired of driving carefully like a grandma, raised it up and back to driving like a lunatic.

Yup, my cars at tractor height. Up and down curbs, medians, ditches...

Crabwalk :) Thankfully right now my car is stock height, but when I get new suspension, it'll stop being a 4x4 :lol

i scrape quite a bit especially where my header and cat meet, i havent mastered the angle going over speed bumps, but there are some speed bumps where i basically have no chance in hell getting over them with out scraping
i cant get over the really high bit short speed bumps and the ones in allies that have a gap inbetween the speed bump,

fishing666 12-21-2009 06:57 PM

the ones at sfu west mall parking scraps u even if u aren't lowered. that was the first time i've ever felt being low even for being at stock height

speedbumps sucks ass btw

If your car is old and you're scraping exhaust, it's time to get new mounts. Engine/ tranny mounts sag when they age, and replacing them situates your motor higher, and less vibration. Tighter mounts = better throttle response too.

Exhaust hangers are cheap. Replace them and it'll help keep your exhaust sit higher which = less scraping.

Like everyone said above, angle your car. If it scrapes, avoid that area again! trust me, you'll remember. lol
