Driving Lowered Cars

[max_boost]

Well I got my car back, its now lowered but the kit is so aggressive that it gives the car a slammed look......anyway, the rear bumper is just huge, much bigger than the front!

So I'm doing my last food order before I go home, I knew I should have taken the Forester.......so I pull into these town houses, it didn't look too steep at first, the front made it but the back didn't! I hear a scrape and I was about to cry! LOL Turned out that I scraped the bottom right corner of my rear bumper, can't see it unless you look under the car...... but still, the scrape is indeed there and the first scrape is always the most painful

ARgh....just had to get it out of my system

Now I'm definitely now lowering the car, I don't care if I have to go 4*4 styles

at least the ABS plastic is strong! unlike cheap fiberglass hehe

Yeah, I usually only have a problem with the front, really gotta watch out when parking and those speed bumps can be real scary sometimes.

I wanna see the car, up for a cruise?? Lol, I'm so bored.

I had school today and just finished a 7 hour shift, I'm tired, maybe next time for sures.........

[lammer]

hehe damn i wanan lower my car when ig et one. but im scared of parking it up in the garage because when i go up it might scrape the front bumper won't it?

[Hakkola]

Maybe, I usually park backwards because the rear bumper has more clearance then the front.

Yeah, next time is alright, hehe. Go get some sleep buddy.

Just go at an angle but it depends how low your car is too.....when I had my Prelude, I had a wingswest rs kit and dropped it 1.5inches and had no problems but I still scraped from time to time though........ahhh....can't avoid them all but the first one is just so painful, its like I got kicked in the ballz lol

[max_boost]

Oh yah, its weird, I've had more people look at me in the last 2 days than I had in the last 6 months! haha feels great lol

[lammer]

you guys know what i meant when i said parking in the garage right? you have to climb that little quarter circle thing then up your driveway into the garage..hehe i hope it will be safe.

LOL Yes, just don't drive straight up facing the garage......go sideways, parallel to the curb.....then turn the wheel all the way to the right until you get one tire onto driveway and then your usually safe......same thing when you reverse, turn the wheel all the way to one side and back out slowly.......but there is a learning process, you'll probably scrape a few times before you catch on hehe......

And that is why if I become mayor, I am going slam all the parking lots/houses and eliminate speed bumps hahahahha

Did you go to Riverglen Park? That driveway is fucking steep, and the speedbumps are huge. I scraped the underside of the CRX a couple times back then.

[lammer]

hrmm haha someones gotta show me im not good with words.

[Hakkola]

Hahaha, AWESOME, you got my vote!!!

Yeah, i thought you meant like big parking garage, but yeah, some places you have problems if you don't go real slow, like at chinook beside the parkade for for the theater there's the little uphill where i scrape sometimes, after the first scrape it's not that big a deal, It's not really noticable unless you go up and look real close, most people won't notice though.

Just think....... go up at an angle, 45 degrees, one tire at a time.

k so i hit the parking lot at 45 degrees.
then when the first tire clears it i start to go straight slowly?

[Hakkola]
