I just drive up onto some 2x4's when I need to jack the car up.

Not much of a hassle IMO.


Lowered on espelirs.

Dang you guys are hardcore. I am lowered on tein high tech springs which is a mild drop and I scrape on bumps and driveways and the like. I find it a PITA already but I love the look. Can't imagine what my life would be like slammed! I probably wouldn't have my front bumper or sideskirts anymore hah...

I have KW's lowered about 2 inches. Anyways most what you scrape is are those plastic flaps on the front bumper. I always feel like I am scraping my lip but so far so good. My gf's car on the other hand I took over some gigantic speedbumps. She was only lowered on espelir springs and I scraped the damn pinch rails. Those are speed bumps were ridiciously high, would never bother taking my car anywhere near there, probably rip the damn lip off. DC and Arlington are pretty craptacular for a lowered car.

Yes, it's a pain for me as well. Daily driving is absolutely no problem, as I've driven lowered cars for over 10 years now. It's when I need to get it worked on (either by myself or a shop) that it's a pain.

For myself, I have to drive it up on some wood blocks first before I can even get any sort of jack underneath the car. For a shop, no Honda dealer (I have 6 somewhat close by) can service the car because it cannot be put on their lift. Even at the local shop near me, the lip scrapes just a tiny bit when bringing it up on their lift for alignments, oil changes, etc. At least they're nice enough to put blocks up against the lift so it minimizes the scraping.

I just lowered my car for the 4th time in the past year. Im lowered on Epiler ASD's and koni's with the koni's on the lower perch setting. My plastic wind deflectors in front of the front wheels rub on EVERYTHING!! If i take a corner hard it rubs, dips in the highway it rubs. I do have to evaluate any and every speed bump, entrance, exit and think about where im going before hand. I don't like to drive my car anywhere I've never been before.... My front wheels tuck and the rear sits w/ about a half finger gap..... I think it's worth it though
