Anyone Bottom Out on oem rideheight?

It happened to me twice today, never really noticed it in 2years/ 10k miles. PArking lots are a joke around here. Looks like the main cat scrapes a bit, but no major damage done.

I will have to take on speed bumps at an angle from now on, not much fun with oncoming traffic

practice taking it at an angle and go VERY slowly. It took me a while to clear any dip/driveway.

Yeah, it happens to me on certain driveways and speed bumps. So much for lowering my G.

Angle your damn car on the apex!!! and just be careful.. I can count the amount of times i've scrapped and its always on the plastic guard, not on the bumper..

Also if i catch a G ontop of a parking bumper or curb.. I'm gona unleash hell on the driver

I dont bottom out, but i do scrap once in a while over some dumb things. and I too want to drop it on some Teins. but stock is giving me more clearance issues than I have on my altima with a 3" drop

I bottomed out while driving on the fwy going to work. When I first got my car with 700 miles on it I was going about 65 (not lowered). I was slowing down because I was about to exit there's this stupid dip at the exit. Run over it numerous times on my daily beater and nothing happens but my G just bottomed out. I couldn't believe it so at lunch I drove by the same dip only slower but I still bottomed out. I was PO to say the least that's why I had my suspension changed that same weekend.

if people scrape on stock height or barely lowered i would love to see how damage they would do with my car.. i guess it's not something to be proud of, but it's challenging sometimes.
