Much thanks!

I've just recently gotten my car lowered on coils. I requested a half inch to an inch of a drop. Which isn't ridiculous, but with the amuse body kit it's a semi nightmare. So yes, occasionally I take my time getting into parking lots or things of that nature. And in those scenarios I believe people should be "considerate" of what's happening.

Have I scraped my bumper or side skirts because I didn't want people to feel like they have to wait? Yes. Did it pain me every time? Yes. Does me scraping my bumper to make them not have to wait an extra 5 seconds make them or me feel better? Probably not. In fact, they're probably thinking one of two things: "That guy's an idiot for lowering his car in this area!" OR "Damn he shouldn't have taken that so quickly!" I can see both points being made very clearly.

Minor under carriage/bumper damage I can somewhat be ok with. Any curb that's going to cause significant problems/damage to my car, I'm going to take with caution, regardless of who's behind me. It's not a "**** them" attitude on my part. Just a....minor inconvenience isn't worth hundreds/thousands of dollars attitude. And if turning into a parking lot slow is causing accidents I can almost guarantee that I won't be receiving that ticket.

This is one of the things I hate about the FI exhaust, cans are way to low and they look ridiculous from behind the car, like it was thrown together with spare parts from other cars

Chances are if you're lowered to the point where you can't make it over a moderate speed bump, your car probably handles like crap and looks stupid anyway... Just one man's opinion.

If you have to drive the Z slow,then you bought the wrong car. Buy a corrola and slam it. People know to go slow behind you anyways.

No issues with this for me. The only issue I have is BMW drivers brake checking me in the fast lane that are 20 yards in front of me. Then, continuing to do so until they are 5 feet in front of the nose of my car. Some people deserve to be punched in the mouth. Lucky for me the trucker on the right noticed and slowed down allowing me to slide in front and fast away.

Not lowered but sure does feel like it at times. When pulling into or out of a parking lot, or anywhere for that matter in any vehicle I always consider watching my speed, chances of some random person pulling out in front of me or a child running around in the parking lot is not worth the headache and or damage. People should have more consideration for safety than anything else in that regard. Just my 2 cents which doesn't add up to much.

It'll definitely have to take a little understanding from both parties.

I used to put my hazards on and apologize as I took my time over a speed mountain. I have been honked and cussed at on numerous occasions regardless though.

Here's my take. I always signal well in advance because sometimes I do run into these situations. I do make every attempt not to slow traffic and/or plan my route accordingly. When the driver behind me isn't practicing proper following distance, especially if I'm in the right lane going over the speed limit, then I'm less inclined to care if I have to slow down for road imperfections. If I get honked at, I generally smile and wave and go about my day.
