Yeah I will bottom out over any and all speed bumps, and if there is a steep incline going into a shoping center or anything I will also bottom out there too.

I have full length headers and lowered with eibach pro kit and I don't hit. (I mention full length headers because you can see them stick out from under the car from the side view)

LOL, what kind of bumps or inclines are you going over!?!

I am lowered 2' and I have LT headers and a full exhaust. I have ZERO problems bottoming out while driving, going up hills, going over inclines to driveways or stores, shopping malls. Of course I won't go up an incline that is RIDICULOUSLY big, that I KNOW I can't make.

And I can't go over speed bumps anymore because of my headers, but I never scraped on the speed bumps without my headers.

I pretty much have ZERO issues, and I have the 2 things that most people think are the worst for bottoming out, 2' lowered and headers.

I have the SLP catted X, I'm lowered an inch, it hits on speed bumps and off camber entry ramps into parking lots.

Oh yeh! I hate it too because it just sounds bad and feels bad when it happens and i can only imagine how long it will take for something to become loose under there, I'm starting to see why they say that low pro's and rims are just for show.
