if your gs is the first car youve ever slammed and plan on driving it daily, i suggest not doing so.(unless you just dont give a eF) im not the oldest on cl, only 22 but since i grabbed my first ride(92 integra) when i was 16 ive always been slammed since that very day. i went through a couple oil pans and murdered some tires in my days but driving slammed(on the daily anyway) can be nerve-wrecking if you dont know whats down there banging and scraping. when i first grabbed my 03 almost 2 years ago i slammed it on some cut pro-kits like 3 days later, but i wasnt driving into unknown territory until i really felt like i knew the car. granted it i mess something up bad enough, i fix cars for a living so i got it covered, but everybody isn't a mechanic.. or even mechanically inclined. driving slammed can actually be very dangerous if you dont know how to react according to the situation(i.e. the rain, unmonitored tires, unfamiliar streets and neighborhoods) it looks cool but i dont think its for everyone out there, its up to you to make the choice. thats just my .02

perfect, in a nutshell lol
if you have to think about it.. just leave the slamming to the "slammers"?

I am good at angling and getting into steep driveways with little to no scraping, it is definately an art that comes with lots of practice. There are plenty of areas I know I cant get into so I dont even try it. You have to know your limitations. I am lucky around here most roads are really good so driveways are my main concern. But soon I wont have to worry about it any more

I have cracked my front bumper about 3-4 times now lol. It gets expensive to repair after a while, so you start learning ways not to crack it
