supragold Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have a Do-luck on a very low supra and it always scrapes but its only the underside so nothing to worry about. I just have to go over speed bumps slow thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz1 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 i am lowered on teins, with 19s and a veilside front, only probs is speed bumps, just go slow and cringe if you hear a scrape;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah. It helps going over them at an angle. Being from Essex you must know the speedbumps down Southend front, well I can get over them without it scrapping and they're quite big ones so you should be fine buddy.

SupraStar 3000 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Have a look at my garage and sig for pics with a do-luck on stadard hight. Humps are no problem unless its a fu*king stupid council that has erected a major lump like the ones in our village. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The biggest thing to watch out for is not to pull up too closely in a forward facing parking bay or you run the risk of clipping the front on the curb. You won't know it is too late until you hear the crunch. Otherwise just take it slow over the speed humps and also watch out for dips in the road when exiting a driveway, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 o i know them very well.lol it's tradition to go over them sideways though isn't it.lol Lol, yeah you are right Multistories are a deffinate no no. I once tried the one behind Williams and Griffin in Colchester and got stuck on the first ramp lol. I had to get everyone to back up so I could get out and park it outside.

Sheefa Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have stock bumper with 17's ad Blsein and Eibach setup and it's a bit of a nightmare mate. Unless I'm doing 3-4mph over the speed bumps it'll scrape without fail on the plasic lip beneath the front bumper. Once I completely forgot how low the car was and was pootling down the road at about 20mph and went straight over a large speed bump...........to my random surprse though I cleared the whole thing without a scrape and I have no idea why - bit of lift off maybe! Just take it very slow and steady and try to avoid wherever possible Fat. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
