| getting lowered cars onto ferry
so i'll be heading over to victoria in a couple of days, and im wondering if lowered cars will be able to clear the ferry.
I havent taken it for a long time, plus this time will be the first time taking the S2000.
Anyways, i have 4.5" front lip clearance, and 5" clearance on the side.
For the people with lowered cars, do you think ill be able to clear getting onto the ferry?

In short, call to reserve a spot on the lower level (where the trucks go on) and you will be fine.

you usually dont need to reserve to get lower deck, unless its mad busy.. just ask at the booth, they'll 99% of the time let you go on the bottom. clearance is decent.. with the height of your car it should be fine... my lip is 2" off the ground and most of the time i can make it without scraping.. take the ramps sideways.

Just drive on, if something scrapes it's the underside of the car where nobody looks. Your car's low, deal with it. I am/did.

I've got 4" clearance and made it no prob a couple weeks ago.

Shooting for a sailing when the tides are high helps a bit too.

You should be ok with your clearance, just drive slow. Last time i took my car on the ferry i raked the shit out of my exhaust getting off. Good thing I was going slow or it probably would have been a lot worse.
