Default US129/Tail of Dragon Question...

The S and I hit the dragon around 5-6 times a year. As many of you dragon drivers know, there are several big dips and swoops in the road. I just installed some coilovers and have the car lowered to about a 1/2" gap (one finger) in the front on ap1 wheels. I don't have the optional factory lip BUT the front end is still really low. Does any one know, from experience, if i will scrape the front end on some of those dips and swoops?

Thanks

If you drive fast enough... yes. It's really no big deal though. After making your way around that blissful place, just slap an oem lip on it to cover the scrapes.

Then why did you lower the car so much?
