Default So how do you know you are too low.

Well i just found out.
Just like someone elses sig somewhere i read that when you drive over a plastic water bottle and smell burning .
Well i can add to that ,when you fiind you oil pan is dented pretty hard .

I changed a tranny mount and noticed that the oil pan has a few dents in it now. I guess i am living the low life.LOL

I love my car.

Put metal plates under the car so when you scrape, sparks will shoot out. LOL And congratulations on the dented Oil pan, I guess?? LOL

LOL , you guys are funny , actually a company in Japan makes skid plates for the cars front and rear. I might have to make my own up.
Maybe out of magnesium so it emits a nice blue white spark.

Hey , i will cheat for life then .
Another update to this as well , i found my rear control arms have been hitting the frame and bent both the inner metal liners as well as the upper arms. Plus my rear axles have rub marks on my sub frame.
I might need to be a touch higher. LOL
Good thing is my OZ's will be back on in 2 weeks after a major overhauling repair again .
