you know your too low when Options

your oil pan takes 2" outta the road




from a 2.3" drop all around....resulted in 2" taken outta the road where i hit and 2 tenth mile long trail of oil

[lagos]

this on the jetta? is the motor shot?

[burneeed]

oouuccchhh.... Whenever I changed the oil on a jetta once there was a plate over the oil pan and it looked pretty protective... but damn that hurts.

Jetta oil pans breaking are a very common thing Dan, haha

just get an OEM replacement and a steel SKID PLATE !!! or look for a hybrid (steel/aluminium) pan.

[playr158]

even a skid plate wouldn't help where i hit the road was really messed up...i'm pretty sure i saved the motor...soon as it broke i knew from the sound/feel/display wat it was and got the car to safty...but yea just getting a replacement whenever i feel like it...don't really feel like fixing it right now...but oh well either way its low as Sh!t and i love the way it looks...just...can't go over SH!T

[Kadett]

Damnz, hope to never see that happen to my Celica. Good luck fixing it!

but low is soooo hawt.

i think it's worth it.

[Manta5x]

you just convinced me into getting coilovers

[playr158]

haha steve your so right....so low is so hot i'm just glad i had wolfsburg 16s on instead of my velox 18s...but yea good reason to get coilovers
this is the only car i've had with springs because of the price of VW parts haha springs were a better deal

but low is soooo hawt.

i think it's worth it.

potential engine damage is worth it?

[Consynx]

hells yea, i bought wheels n tires that are gonna raise my can n throw off my speedo so i can TUCK EM better, muahahaha

[malpaso]

That's one of many reasons I'm not "fly to" lowering my car (roads are horrible here...)

[playr158]

eh its actually never really a big deal there is about 3" of ground clearance on my jetta and i can make it over 97% of anything thats in my way....this just happened to be a case of where the road i was on i was unfamiliar with, it was completely dark (no lights), and lack of attention...had i been smarter i would have been able to drive through it no problem
my only real issue is a small number of very steep driveways that only trucks go down
