Why I feared getting a drop...

As I was having the crank pulley installed they jacked the car up and surprise surprise.. The round canisters aren't round no more!







This is far more than just a scrape I definitely would've felt it! Thing is no one other than me drives her. Or could it have been the valet drivers? Don't really want to blame anyone yet or point fingers I'm just telling everyone to becareful if you're dropped..

Given the video on your speed bumps, I am surprised it is not worse.

the eibach rears are NOT low.. so i'm surprised to see this. is the FI exhaust really that low? the stock midpipes hang way down and i've only scraped those a handful of times in 40K miles... and i'm MUCH lower than eibach rears.

Man pretty nasty lookin man.

Do you ever back up into parking spaces? Maybe you've rubbed up against curbs or parking bumpers?

My friend has the same problem with his car, he's lowered on eibachs and has the FI exhaust system, FI canisters just hang extremely low and scrape on just about everything.
