I'm not even as low as some on this forum and I have trouble getting around without scraping even with no kit. Especially with people in the car.

Share some techniques you guys use to avoid obstacles. I need to practice angling more.

 

Simple.




I just don't get around.

 

err... if its coilovers just raise it, duh

 

you spend 2 hours every time you go out and know there might be trouble on clearance?

 

im not slammer, im lowered.. but i know pretty well where i drive my car and set the ride height so im ok

beyond that i just dont take that car there and would drive a different one instead... but usually thats a nonissue

dont know what else you can do beyond that

 

Raise it back up? I might as well go back to stock if I did that.

I guess the only solution is air suspension.

 

I did my coilover just enough to get around, and no, no passengers!!!
everytime I got more than 2 ppl I can't even get out my driveway!!

 

Just be careful and slow down, you cannot drive as fast or as careless as you would with a stock car. You need to be paying attention 50-100 feet ahead of you to scope out the potholes,dips,cracks,bumps, ect... and maneuver accordingly

With a lowered car you cannot have the best of both worlds, you have to adjust the hight to match exactly what you want from it. for example I had mine set at a point were the car looked perfect with me in the car and could barely get by when my gf was in the car. Anyone else/ heavier would throw off the balance of the car and I would scrape the hell outta the inner fenders.

 

swerve and pray

You just gotta know your routes, know where the smooth roads are are the jacked up roads are and try to avoid them.

 

hydraulics... lol

 

I knew there was an advantage of having air

 

There is definitely a price to be paid for looking cool.

You quickly learn how to negotiate driveways and speed bumps.
Going out of/into steep driveways requires patience and planning
and the proper angle of attack. I plan ahead and try to time my
driveway exits so I don't interfere with traffic or slow other's
driveway ingress/egress.

I can't pull out of my office driveway without going at an angle.
Even if I exit at 1 mph the bumper willl hit the ground.
Low and slow are each other's best friends.



But it looks so good rolling...

 

You might have the most attractive 2GS I've ever seen.

 

Bob, you and my brother both have the same problem

..surprisingly this doesn't scrape when he goes down the driveway
