well i know this is a really stupid question but, when going over speed bumps do you really have to turn when you get to it? and if i hit the speed bump will it be really noticable? i jes wanted to make sure. sorry for the stupid questions. these questions are reffering to a 2'' drop. thnx

if your car ain't scrapping on the buttom, Their is no need for turning or going side ways.

what i was askin was if the speed bumps will hit the bottom of my car if im 2'' dropped. i guess it depends on how bif the speed bump is.

I scrape over some speed bumps and i am only down 1.2"

Just GO SLOW!!! After I lowered my car I scraped the bottom center of my car when going about 5mph over a speed bump (i didnt see it). I CRAWL over speed bumps now. I turn when I go over the speed bumps here on campus but when going over normal bumps I just go straight since there is really no need. Oh yeah, I have a 1.5in drop.

My ass scrapes on everything, you don't really have to turn the car on speed bumps with the drop your getting. But going into places that have a steep incline make sure you hit those at an angle. After a while driving low around your city you will know what places you have to do what at. IMO there is really a skill to driving a lowered vehicle after a while you will learn it. You probably will scrape on everything when you first get your shit in.

how bout mufflas? you guys scrape those? is there any ways i can get around that. cauz ive seen some nice cars with some jacked up mufflers. again sorry. :) im a nebie

well, for now all I have is a GST muffler, but I have never had a problem scraping it

wo0t!
i do, just to look cool, and it takes me like 45 minutes

speed bumps suck ass... fuck em... my front end hates em and my fmic hates em even worst... just hope i dont gash my oil pan, that'd suck hella ass to see your engine lock up on ya.

wo0t!
my front end and FMIC dont like em either
oh thats right, i dont have either

You have a front end dont you? hmm..

i guess it depends on what you are driving over.. i scratch on random things, even when hitting the angles.. ehh.. we knew what we were getting into when dropping our cars..

Brad, nice sig! your car looks fukin sweet.. my keyboard doesnt work anymore because i just drooled all over it.. ;lakdfeoi;alkjdv;lka :D

wo0t!
i cant wait till i have a big drop, like 3.5-4" dang, imma hit everything

I usually go sideways and slow down if the spped bump or dip/area looks "controversial" It's better to be safe than sorry IMO. Just take it slow. 5 MPH is too fast for most speed bumps. Try about 2 MPH. LOL. I am dropped on sportlines.

I have cracked my front end, scraped my front end thousands of times, scraped oil pan, tons of dents in oil pan, frame has matching side scrapes all the way down, exhaust piping is scraped in every inch on bottom side, tailpipe tip is scraped almost flat on bottom side, sidemarkers pop out once a week, my rubber inner fender wells don't even connect to the flanges of the front bumper anymore....need i go on? :)

and that's wif a 2-3" drop all around, on just lowering springs. Thank God my 17s raised the car half an inch.

that reminds me of a Adam Sandler song Mike. Damn, too much shit was going on there. :P

Haha I hate our bumper scrap o rama, and that massive wheel gap sux too, you need like 18s to fill it up! :P

I hate speed bumps that are not painted, also hate going over old ass railroad tracks.

old ass train tracks and a new alignment do not mix.
