i am soo glad my car isnt lowered right now... when i was driving to work this morning on lawrence expressway (local road)..i saw chunks of bricks all over the road... the only thing i had time to do is to drive over it, thinking phew if my car was lowered my front OEM spoiler would of said BYE BYE...

has anyone who lowered their S had problems with the car being too low and hitting things on the road?? i bet a lot of rocks kick up too.

I do recall seeing someone with a cracked front spoiler...I have not had a problem with debris just with curbs.

You dodge what you can ... That's life.

In NJ I scrape bottom in most driveways and gas stations without a front lip...

From my job experience: vehicles with higher ground clearance simply hit bigger bricks. Mercedes Benz E class hits a bunch of cinder blocks at 70 mph - 4 flat tires and 4 dented wheels. Same episode - Ford F150 hits same cinder blocks right behind the MB. 2 flat tires, 2 dented wheels.
Murphy's Law will always prevail.

We have speed bumps all over the place in the UK, they are a pain in the bum.
