For those of you who are low, what do you scrape?
I'm curious to see what everyone scrapes on if you are low. I thought it would be my muffler or flange between the Y and mid pipe but I had the car up on jacks last week and my stock cats are pretty dinged up. And I'm not even that low!!!!!!
I've got no problems with my stock front, the lowest part of the OEM lip is still 5" above the pavement on level ground. Anyone know how much lower the Kurookie bumper sits on a sedan compared to the stock?

Gabe scrapes the bottom of his KuRookie going in and out of driveways, but its a mild scrape since he drives slow. He's lowered on H&R's, IIRC. I know he's scraped his Tanabe exhaust's resonator a few times as well.
For my car, I usually scrape the bottom of my Kuruma and sometimes I've caught the front bottom of my impul side skirts. But the lowest point of my car is where my y-pipe meets my stock OEM cats. I've scraped that probably twice, seeing as how by the time that I've already cleared what I've had to clear, I'm already angled enough where it will go over without any problems. Its only when I take a bump or hill straight on is when I scrape that portion of my car. I've also hit that black metal cross beam that runs across the frame as well, but its now bent upward enough where it doesn't scrape anymore.
Other then that, its all I really scrape.

I scrape my y-pipe, cats, undertray and other parts of my undecarriage on a regular basis.
My KuRookie front got scraped up to the point where there was a hole in bumper on the bottom corner on the driver's side. I recently had it repaired (added more FG from the inside) and repainted. It only sits 2" off the ground so its bound to get all scraped up no matter how careful I am.
I've scraped my muffler maybe once or twice. Some Sedans that are low and have a Stillen exhaust scrape the exhaust piping since it sits lower than stock.

my nismo sideskirts are 3.5 inches off the ground; not sure about my front...
if i'm not careful, scrape my front, side skirts, y-pipe, cats, undertray, the flange between my custom midpipe and muffler, my HKS muffler (which i've scraped a gazillion times) and the OEM piping leading into the HKS on certain speed bumps.

^^ Me neither. This was the end result of one of those for me. Actually this was more of a steep curb then a bump, but still sucked nonetheless.

i can't avoid them sometimes! esp if i'm w/ my girl and we drive into a strip mall; if i was by myself i'd park it on the street but i feel like an *** to tell her, 'sorry, babe, i can't park in here; we need to walk' lol
parking structures scare me to death; the inclines, the speed bumps, nooooo! haha

I usually scrape when I run over small furry creatures or children, sometimes the elderly too.

Most of the time I end up scraping the bottom of my front splash guards, side of the front bumper, or the metal crossbeam that runs across the frame as previously mentioned.

So far, so good for me.
Just got mine lowered about 6 weeks ago, and I thought I was gonna get some serious scrapage over a familiar lumpy stretch I travel daily - at relatively high speed.
"Ah! SLOW DOWN, DUDE! Aw sh-........too late. What? Nothing hit? Phew!
I'm good!!"
Then again, I've kinda just got a baby drop (oh, shut up...
...all of you's
) - .8 front / .7 rear from Tein H-Tech 350Zs.
Quite frankly was wondering what would happen at that spot, which I will be blasting over in about 30 minutes, but I wasn't overly concerned.
I guess I didn't have the stones to go any lower, but I sure as hell thought about some insane Eibach Sportlines.
Go ahead......say it. Whatever, man.

I scrape my front bumper, splash guards on my side skirts, my engine undertray, the front jacking point, the flange between my HKS exhaust and Berk cats, the flex pipes on my HKS y-pipe, and the flat metal brace that comes stock on the car.
