^^^Nice drop Johnny, have you got it aligned yet?

 

Is say needs more low lmao!

 

Thanks! Yep, had it aligned right after.

Ha not me! If anything I would raise it up a little. But it's not bad where it's at.

 

Think GENTLMN Z was joking I would go up about a 1/2", I was where you were at on some B&G lowering springs and it wasn't fun, and my Y-pipe can attest to that

 

Oh man, you had to be lower than me. I haven't ever dragged or scraped anything except for the plastic under shield on some odd dips in certain roads. And the occasional front lip drag on entries or driveways. I really thought I would be busting up the bottom of the car at this height, so I was pleasantly surprised!

 

I was at 25.75" to the upper fender arc, so maybe I was dumped a bit lower, looks like you're at zero gap in front and that's where I'm at now (26.25").
Nice to hear you've been much easier on your undercarriage

 

I was joking btw. Right now I have my ride height at about 26.75". But that's just because it's aligned at that height. I'll have new wheels on by the end of this month and I'll go down a bit and realign!

 

I'm right around 25.8" front fender to the ground and I scrape occasionally on the undertray. I do clear most road debris/hazards without issue. I think I'm pretty low but surprised it hasn't given me more trouble lol

 

What would you guys say is a good height for clearing speed bumps? 26.5 or so? I live around a lot of speed bumps so I don't want to be scraping all the time

 

Sounds reasonable

 

That sounds like a good height. Even at 25.8" I clear speed bumps without much issue unless they're tall bumps lol

 

I'm at 26 3/8 and I do pretty good. I am considering going up a LITTLE more as I scrape on a few things here and there. but 26.5 is a solid height with good looks and easy drive I'd say.


25.8 is crazy. I did 25.75 the first day I was lowered and it was undriveable

 

Based on your pictures you look very low to me. I'm in Central Florida and even at you're height I think I would have issues with speed bumps even at 26 3/8. I might consider 26.75 just to give extra room in case.
I just might drive my car and go to the biggest speed bump and take out measuring tape and see how low I could get without it being an issue. Hopefully this would prevent any scraping issues, as that is not something I want to have to deal with frequently.

 

Be sure to go over the big ones at an angle, otherwise your Y pipe will look even worse than the pic I posted of my old Y.
