I mounted my front plate using a custom bracket to my front lip. Thus when I scrape the front lip, I usually scrape the bracket first letting me know to be careful or take another line.
Used to be way lower, got tired of driving carefully like a grandma, raised it up and back to driving like a lunatic.

i scrape quite a bit especially where my header and cat meet, i havent mastered the angle going over speed bumps, but there are some speed bumps where i basically have no chance in hell getting over them with out scraping
i cant get over the really high bit short speed bumps and the ones in allies that have a gap inbetween the speed bump,

If your car is old and you're scraping exhaust, it's time to get new mounts. Engine/ tranny mounts sag when they age, and replacing them situates your motor higher, and less vibration. Tighter mounts = better throttle response too.
Exhaust hangers are cheap. Replace them and it'll help keep your exhaust sit higher which = less scraping. Posted via RS Mobile | |
