Default Scraping the barrel... of the exhaust

will scraping (albeit lightly) the s/steel exhaust and sometimes the front undercarriage cause much harm in the long run? I love my lowered scoob but so aware I have to crawl over speedbumps (and even then scrapes).

Only thought about it when my mate (in a pretty standard civic type r) took me down plymouth sea front and forgot to tell me there's the 3 abreast speed humps. I ended up having a queue of traffic behind me while I was attempting that assault course. had the odd scrape only cos I was getting pissed off! Could have killed her!!!

hi sianne, it won,t do your car any good! if you have height adjustable coilovers then raise it. having car so low will also compromise handling too. good luck

hi, i assumed you had coilovers very low to be grinding your exhaust.the eibach springs are very good. i had tein s tech which never grounded over bumps though i allways slow down for them and go round potholes lol. the only bad thing about the tein s tech was under hard braking over bumps was awfull as their isn,t enough travell there. my new bc coilovers are awesome
