Finally lowered!, but...

I'm very pleased with my new ride height. I just got my Tanabe DF210 springs installed on my 05 G35C. It rides smoothly and the drop is exactly how I like it. My only issue is going up my driveway. Any lowered car will scrape the bottom of their car. I always go up my driveway at super slow speed and angled of course. It slighty scrapes/grazes right under the driver side seat. And part of the middle of the car, where the exhaust pipes are. But it seems like its just scraping the frame. Cause when I look under the car, the only thing that it could possibly scrape against. Is the exhaust pipings, brackets or parts of the frame itself.

How bad of damage could I expect, if it scrapes those areas? What do ya'll think? Cause all I care about is that I don't scrape anything under the engine area. Like the oil pan etc.

I don't think you have an issue. When I was lower than am I now, I had issues going into parking lots. The only part that was scraping was the cross member.
