Yeah

Im not even on lowered suspension and Im scraping the bottom of my front peice on my kit when I go into parking lots that dip... And Im rollin on stock suspension so im confused... The only reason Im not lowering is beause of this, but its reality right now... I need to learn how to avoid this if possible cuz this kit is fiberglass and we all know how crappy it is...

So any advice? confused.gif I dont wanna end up with a broken kit frown.gif

for starters i might suggest getting some rims. the stock 15s make the car sit low with a kit to begin with. also it will come with time. the more you drive you will figure it out. start off by taking the dips slow and at an angle. the bigger the slant the more of an angle.
