Too dumpt?

I just lowered my car on some JIC Fltar coilovers and slammed it to see if i liked it. I was wondering how the hell do you other guys drive around town like this. the bottom of my car scrapes so bad. is there a solution to this problem or do i just need to raise it up? my car doesnt even seem that low. its just the fact that i scrape on the bottom. I appreciate anyones comments.

You just have to learn how to angle in to driveways. I scraped my exhaust (mid-section...not the mufflers) plenty of times the first few days. But im getting a bit use to it, though there will sometimes be a driveway which you just can't get in to.

If your car looks anything like shanesG's then who cares where you cant get into because your car would be looking super sexy. Haha ShanesG's car is one of my favorite G's.
