    my big 4door has become a 1 passenger mobile.. my gf is about the only person that can ride with me because she weighs about 120lbs...lol Anyone else, my fenders start yelling at me!

    But since my car is old and it has a real good bit of frame under neath covering the oil pan and driveshaft, and rear end.. all i scrape is frame underneath. but the thing thats hurting my wallet is tires... but i dont have a raise option, im low all the time... aint no up for me... but it pays off..and i cant go back..

      Luckily I found myself a girl who drives a lowered G35 herself, so when I scrape and rub she just smiles

        I drag when the road is slightly raised in the middle and if I change lanes just right, my exhause clamp sometimes kicks up road reflectors.

        It's awesome.

        Everyone in Wilmington hates me though because I drive slow lol. I am constantly getting honked at, flicked off, having people use the middle turning lane to pass me, etc. Wilmington roads are horrible and being dumpt is a horrible inconvenience.

        It's awesome.

          I scraped my frame rails on my old sedan pretty good... loved it when I went into a multi-story parking garage. Esp this one time, with the car packed full with 5 people... i was grinning and laughing the whole time, the others were screaming like "DUDE! WTF IS IT WITH YOUR CAR!!"

          Can't wait until my 18s are on the Touring and I can crank the coils a bit lower... finally start to scrape some stuff again.
          Atm my car makes very strange noises because I hit some kind of heat shield under my exhaust pretty good some weeks ago and now it's pretty bent up and always rattles.

          Love every minute of it.

            The neighbors know I'm home when they listen me scraping on the garage's entrance.
            Although not as low as you guys, I scrape like hell, and I do not give a damn, it's just the way it's supposed to be, lol.

              I have some good experience scraping, but I just scrape exhaust. I need to raise it before I can rock the car lower. Right now its got an inch clearance at most. I never hit anything else because the front struts bottom out before anything else hits

              Planning on raising the strut mounts this summer so I can drop the body down some

              I have to go over the middle of the speed bumps around here which have a nice little dip that I can slip my exhaust through. Otherwise it will scrape over them. I used to have sidepipes and cushy stock suspension and that shit would scrape the ground over the smallest little bumps in the road. It would do that with the current setup too, but you can't budge the suspension over the hardest of bumps anymore. Cant even budge the car by sitting in or on it lol

              My roommate's E30 scrapes every little bump with more than two people in it. Its pretty fun. Gotta love that metal on asphalt sound.

                  driving low is the tits.
                  literally scrape everywhere. it's great having everyone watch when i pull into the school parking lot. raised roads with ruts are the worst. might have to replace some pans soon! hopefullyy. haahha

                      iScrape every day, only gone through 1 sump (oil pan) to date though, hit a little limestone rock and busted a hole on it, dented my subframe and hit my exhaust on the way out bending it almost closed, my trip home is exactly like richard_gud's daily trips, get into left lane, avoid dip, back into right lane, wait till halfway past turning lane then get into it to avoid nasty pot hole etc... my cars not even that low compared to most of you guys! i almots died one day when i saw the dirty great big speed bumps they local councel had put on my girfriends street, i had to wait about 100m down the road and she walked to my car haha

                        eh, it's an e36. I beach it on everything

                        The thing that worries me most is bending a wheel because I'm too poor to replace one

                        especially now that Kodiak bought fikse so I have to sell family members to buy lips

                          i couldn't imagine raising up my car just to drive (because i can't) the roads i take to get to school are pretty bad even for stock height cars and i scrape and rub on them all the time. I still need to be lower though lol
