so i'm scraping ALOT like every driveway, but when i go super slow at an angle then i don't scrape. ne advice? its lower with rb springs and konis, so its not THAT low... but how do u guys do it?

neprotective tape i can put on the buttom to protect it a little?

thanks in advance

 

If I hit a driveway straight-on then I scrape and my car height is stock. I would suggest going at an angle EVERY time. Take no chances.

 

What if you buy one of those carbon fiber splitters that go on the bottom of the front bumper. That way it will protect your bumper from scratches.

 

i guess that would work... but i was thinking more of a 3M type of gaurd...
i have NEVER scrapedwith my stock front bumper :/ this is gonna be a B!tCH

 

I have splitters, and they rub all the time, but my bumper is safe

 

Mike. ur gonna have to angle drive and down things often... to be honest... mike a guard.. is pointless u won't scrap going sideways... trust me. im MUCH lower then u with a LOWER kit and a LOWER coilover set. and i can still clear things barely.. so for u. u should have no problem

 

^ what she said....

 

get some splitters. I did for my autobahn kit, they take most of the abuse when I scrape.

 

can u reccomend ne place for me to get splitters? linky? thanks :D

wow 250 for two slabs of cf? gahh

 

i think they have some split splitters for less than that. I think 150? Good quality stuff though I scrape a lot and they are still holding up pretty strong.

They're shipping is pretty slow though.

 

I used to scrape with just the appearance package, and that was before I got springs.

 

my car is slammed andi scraped my front stock bumper with no appearance package approaching a driveway.. since then the angle method is the best...no problems except scraping the under-carriage on speed-breakers -- not speed bumps...

 

LOL, what did that bumper cover cost you?

 

Yeah , go in an angle , your chances would be alot less.

 

thanks guys... i only scrap going down the driveway, not up for some reason. i think im going just as low, but yah. alright. thanks everyone for the advice and tips, and i know some ppl got it worse then i do so i'll stop bitching haha

 

how is mazdaspeed front on speedbumps ?

 

I have had no problems with mine and my car is lowered also

you should have enough clearance
