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

Yea...i agree w/ Jay. Bigger rims will help, but it'll take away from the look of the kit so you're gonna have to lower it and then you're back to square one. My best advice is that you're gonna have to sacrifice those places with the big dips. For example, at my school, i sacrificed Wendy's cuz it has a NASTY dip, so i cant drive there anymore. Drive carefully and be careful. I already scraped like 20 times and have rock chips galore and its chipped as h*ll. Honestly i dont care as much as i should. I'll repaint it but im lookin to buy a new car soon. just know the roads around u and sooner or later you'll be able to judge whether ur car will make it or not (experience). Take hills on an angle SLOW.
