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

I go into my drive way at a huge angle cant back into it because I'll drag my kit, I have to go in forward and huge the bushes basicly, the best thing to do is go very slow untill you learn the roads you take, aventualy you will get a custom to your clearence and stuff but to learn it you gata go slow and steady and just angle into it, I kinda gave up after a wile so I just deal with the screaping and I have had to fix cracks in the kit because of it but thats life and it does not show

its not the scraping thats really that bad, a little here and there wont make a diff if your slow wile its scraping, its the curbs that did the big crack on mine I had to fix, you absolutly can not hit a curb because it will crack easy if you wedge it, backing it in will prevent this as the back will go over most.

but you kinda figure it out on your own, its hard to just tell you how to drive it.
