Guest garymc Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 just got myself the front topsecret bumper fitted today but it looks like its going to have to come back off as it seems very low and i cant get it over any speed bumps.. :( anyone else had this problem?

Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Just about everyone with a supra and an aftermarket bumper lol. I'm guessing you have your car lowered? If so, try getting higher springs. I have RSr's and they are a little higher than some. I CAN get over speedbumps but i have to go unbelievably slow. I find my cat pipe hits more than the bumper does.

Dazzi Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 If mine was catching I'd rather move house/area than take parts off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 it more than likely has been lowered if it is catching speed bumps even with the ts front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 never good. just reverse a mile home over them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 never good. just reverse a mile home over them all Makes no difference, when the back wheels lift up over the speed bump the front end lowers exactly the same. The angle required to get over doesn't change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 What kind of speed bumps? Mine's got a Top Secret front, it doesn't like car parks but not had problems with speed bumps (have to go very slow over them). Mine's lowered on Tein coilovers too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've recently had the JDL bumper fitted, the car is lowered and I do scrape. Not too much of a problem on the square type, best piece of advice I had is when going over straight bumps approach at an angle and change to the opposite lock to come off, it seems to work. Same trick seems to work when reversing up onto the drive albeit the curbs lowered. Looking at raising the Tein coilovers a tad t see if that helps.

Guest garymc Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 its the ones that are the full width of the road and gradually rise up to the height of the kerb. just gave it a try but heard too many scrapes and bangs so it aint gonna work :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Haven't seen any that are kerb height. Most are 1/2 to 3/4 kerb height. I can't get over the ones that go all the way accross either but thats because my car is so low. Speaking of which. I've got a double de-cat going on on Wednesday. Will this make speedbumps a little easier or harder? I was thinking that the CAT's would hang down much further than the pipe, is that right?

Konrad Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Your car have to be lowered, I had top secret front on my red Supra and altough she was catching some extreme bumps (ASDA car park entrance), normal one was cleared easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
