This is my concern, too.
I've been thinking about lowering the car a little, but I'm afraid to drag my cans over bumps.
Any feedback from guys with FI on their lowered Z? (Yes, I tried a search... so save it)

I have eibach prokit springs and camber kit and I have 3inches clearance to the floor from lowest corner of the mufflers.

That's funny? I have the same setup

some people said its not problem but the guy who installed it did say "yes for in america this is a good exhaust but belgium is filled with shitty roads and huge speed bumps so in 3 weeks you will have lost some carbon"

my cans are abit scratched already even though I go like a slug over speedbumps

It is not about just going slow over speed bumps, you also have to angle yourself right. The exhaust is lifted when going over things, but think of it like when you add a front lip that is lower. You have to take entrances at certain angles and speed bumps differently.

Vegitto-kun · 08-15-2010, 09:36 AM

Well I do it whenever I can but most of the time cars are coming from the other side and I don't have enough room to go in at a angle that wont make it hit.

my front bumper protector thingy is so wrecked haha

theDreamer · 08-15-2010, 09:38 AM

I force people wait for me to go into an entrance. The other thing I do is go in known good entrances, sometimes it means going down a bit more or going the long way, but it is worth it.

well there are speed bumps on every possible road around my house

and forcing people to wait? I would get beat up pretty quickly

but I guess that if I want to lower the car I will need to get thicker tires again (went from stock 45(? if I remember right) to 30). or get bigger rims so they will fill up the arches more an get stiffer suspension.

September will be here soon!

Vegitto-kun · 08-17-2010, 03:15 AM

I now without any sort of springs. has about 3.5 inches.

damn thin tires.

Vegitto-kun · 08-17-2010, 07:25 AM

He probably got thinner tires like me. seems like your tires are stock. resulting in you having one inch more than him.
