bottoming out

RE: bottoming out
I'm lowered and I only had trouble on bottoming out on 1 of the speed bumps in my apartment complex that I know of. It was a small one but very steep so I felt the tranny hit it a few times [:@] I started to drive over it from an angle, like \ instead of straight up, and I never bottomed out again. Anyways, I'm sure there are plenty of other things I can bottom out on, but I don't want to find out.

RE: bottoming out
I bottom out on speed bumps and some lips on parking lot entrances... I have 3" of clearance from my mid pipe to the ground. Literally 3" no more, thats with no suspension travel and with me not in it. It really sucks because I have that little clearance but my side skirts are 7" from the ground. It doesnt look right. I can see my mide pipe and LT headers from a side view standing up. I have bottomed out a few times bad were the flanges that bolt my mid pipe to my cat-back have ripped off. I have to hammer the flanges back on. It sucks!!! Once I went to a car was after I put my LT headers on and the tracks that hold the car in place as it goes through. Ripped my left muffler off. That sucked!! I hate it. I want to lower my car more, but I wont have any clearance.
