    Everyone complains about PA's shitty roads. When I had the mk3 golf lip on the e36 (3in of clearance) I would scrape everything, but since I put my coilovers on, the front bumper is about .5in higher then when I had the lip and surprisingly I don't scrape anywhere that I use too. Pulling in/out of my driveway is the worst, the frame and exhaust tear up the concrete. But I park on the side of the street anyway. Ill turn the coilovers down another 5 or 6 turns and remove the adjusters on the rear once I get my wheels on next week. So that should maybe make me scrape at some points although I pretty much mastered driving low around my area. Its not too bad.

      I have busted 2 oilpans, snapped a few axles and I also smack my dogbone mount on reflectors on my wagon before I parted it out and returned it back to stock.

        Totally worth it.
        I can't put more than 2 people in my car or I scrape everything in sight.

          You'll learn to embrace the fact that you scrape everything, and rub, and bottom out on a daily basis. And if your girl doesn't like it, you deserve better. Truth is, it sucks to roll hard. But in anyone on here's opinion it's worth it. I love when people tell me how bad I spark going down some roads on a static drop.

            I'm currently at stock height with my E36 and I scrape like shit over the speedbumps at my school. I swear they're not speedbumps, they're practically small buildings.



            Can't wait until my coils get in next week and I get lower, it's going to be ridiculous getting out of that parking lot

              ditto
              i put air on my van only because Just coils isnt low enough, and the air setup i had wasnt low enough after that. so now im redoing it with air on coilovers to go even lower
              NEVER low enough

                  Haha... Funny reading this post. My wife needed me to drive out to the airport last night to pick up a friend. Well, he's a pretty big guy, and big guy's don't fit well in my Corrado. With over 200lbs in the car + me, I rub on every single bump on the road pretty much. I can drive pretty well with my wife and daughter in the car and be fine. I need to pick up some different brand tires, as the Toyo's don't stretch for shit.

                  I need to take a video of how messed up my driveway is, and how it looks when I get in and out of it. I'd love to go lower, but I wouldn't be able to park in the driveay anymore.

                      Haha, that's nothing compared to my driveway. I'll have my wife help me take a video of me backing into it tomorrow.

                        At first there were times I would forget and the car would take a beating. After sometime now, you kinda get used to it honestly.
