I need to snap a pic but my buddy just cracked the oil pan on his Civic Si and hes only on tein springs I was shocked to hear he cracked it as the car isnt that low.. But sure enough it is good and cracked. I think he may have seized the motor as well Man oh man how I love my skid plate..
How about a transmission oil pan? I've cracked it so many times the JB Weld wouldn't work so after this time I pulled it off and had it welded. Gotta watch out for the bridge to road dips!
My oil pan has never been touched its behind the sub-frame…which gets a beating.
This thread scares me and my car is still stock height
it shouldn't, slam your shit. drive smart, if your roads are that shitty run a larger profile tire and leave the dope wheels in the grange for shows, and get a skid plate, and carry a extra oil pan, tools to change it, jack and extra oil. and get a oil pressure gauge. that way when you smash your pan or bend it enough to block the pickup you know.

While I have the tools to change a pan all the time anyway (when you DD a 24 year old car tools are a must!) everything else sounds like too much for a DD lowered car. But I guess if you don't carry kids around all the time it's no biggie! In other news, I smacked the hell outta my pan not long ago because I went 45 through a hood (yeah, I know) and didn't see the DIP sign, and the whole front end took a dive into a dip in the road. It just scuffed up my front subframe and oil pan. Had my pan been the original aluminum type it would have been done. I love my steel pan!
