im sittin on S-techs and stock gts 15's and i scrape all the time. What i do for when im driving down the road, i look for potholes and visual low spots, and for every thing else (ie speed bumps, hills, ramps, curbs, etc.) i just go angled. It looks stupid, but u dont scrape. Theres one speed bump at my school that ive seen guys in Chevy astro's scrape on, and i can go over it without scrapping if i got angled. I do 1 wheel at a time, so only 1 wheel is on the speed bump or curb or w/e at a time.

my school used to have TONS of speed bumps... just go 1 wheel at a time and very slowly... like stated, who gives a damn about the people behind you, its your car, and if they hit you, its their problem as well for being a dumbass driver

rarely do people need to actually go over speed bumps at a very angular approach! mines lowered and i rarely scrape. Only time i do is when im coming out of my driveway! just be aware of your surroundings and watch the cars infront of you and watch how their car takes a dip and if they are almost scraping then readjust how youre going too approach it!

i love the people who go over speed bumps angular when it just makes them look dumb or they ride up on the sidewalk trying to avoid a speedbump!

just take your time rather than rushing thru a bump/dip!

I'm lowered 1.5" with 7th gen GTS rims and the same kit that you have. I don't scrape anywhere. I just take bumps and dips slowly. That's the key.

FYI, my Celica sits 4" off the ground. Not a lot of room, really.
