Default Clearance Question

I am planing on getting dual side exhaust, front chin spoiler and lowering it an 1" to 11/4. Do you think I will have clearance problems with bumps in the road and speed bumps and stuff like that. I also have a funny angled drive way that goes and and lips up again. Its kinda wired. I just dont what to scratch my ****. Thanks.

I don't really have a problem with speed bumps or angled driveways, but I do have a slight problem with my gravel driveway, but that's about it, so in short, you'll be fine.

it should be fine but there could be a few times you run into some problems. for the most part as long as your carefull you shouldnt have any problems. and make sure the side exit is done right, if its not done right it could end up hanging down really really low.

Beware the chin spoiler. We just built a 30x40 shop and my side is funny angled. It has a two foot apron, but the dirt has kind washed out in front of it and it's not really flat - kinda uphill going up to it. My husband's side is flatter coming up to the apron, but we couldn't get either car in. His Z-28 has three inch exhaust, and it was scraping bad. My car couldn't get in because of the chin spoiler and I have a one and a half inch drop.
We have to use the ramps for our car hauler to drive up in the thing. Ain't that some sh** - $13,000 shop and can't even drive up in it.
On the flip side, never had a problem anywhere else. You just have to be very aware of what you're driving into.
