I don't know if your car has them, but AP1s have mud flap type things in FRONT of the front tires, and these stick down at least 1.5 inches below anything else on the car. So I always know when I'm close to bottoming out because those will scrape first as a warning.. and I do hit them all the time, but very very rarely go any further and scrape anything else.

At my friends condo I think I was hitting the frame on the sides of the car (like, right by the front jack points).

 

Obviously going so low you screw up your suspension geometry is going to be detrimental to handling performance. That being said there are of course real advantages to a properly lowered car as well.

 

sounds like a change in driving style is all you need. i've had cars lower than that. you just have to learn how to drive it properly.

 

I said handling is one reason (not THE reason) to lower it (not SLAM it).

 

how hard is it to check the tire size.... really?....


and its not that low... now X4DLuvOfSpeedX is really low

 

hmmm I still see fender gap.... ist not low enough Like the others have been saying, use the 45 degree method.

 

Post pics of these monster speed bumps if you get a free chance too. Maybe they're the size of curbs?

 

guys tire size are Yokahamas 215/35/17 front and 225/35/17 at the back

 

 

Go VERY slow sideways until your front tires clear completely when you go over bumps.
