gas stations are terrible aswell....those that have like the tiny manhole covers right in the middle for the big rigs to fill up are teryfying lol the stick like a good 3 inches above the rest of the road first time(and last) that i filled up at my local gas station i found out how loud my car can scrape

Pulling in gas stations sucks. You are terrified when you see construction signs, road kill, and debris on the road. You hate speed bumps and railroad tracks. Camber wear sucks. You can't park on the side of the curb. I'm sure I will think of some other stuff later.
Riding hard sucks but damn a slammed car looks so much better.
OP: do you have pics of your car.

I'm lowered on Tein Flex's, my rear is maxed out and the front is as low as I can go and still be able to turn the wheel. Driving carefully is key! The worst that has happened is when im trying to change lanes, I dont look forward as much and seldomly through intersections touch down when the road is crowned in the middle.

I would think another problem to slamming a G is that the suspension geometry is entirely out of whack, leading to poor handling and very limited wheel travel. Sure, you can bring the alignment to within spec, but the suspension aspects such as roll center, toe steer, bump steer, and dampening won't be corrected. You might have the look or performance and the initial handling feel might fee great, but when you actually put it under a true handling test, the result is an ill-handling car that performs far worse than stock.

Lowering a car doesn't always lead to better handling. Quite a bit of engineering goes into suspension and changing the height even an inch or two can affect dynamics considerably. A lot of guys don't know a thing about suspension yet insist slamming cars always leads to better handling, when the opposite could be true for many reasons. Many times you'll find the best handling suspension kits actually lower the car the least.

Being slammed supposedly helps with aerodynamics and it does help eliminate even more body roll. But beyond that, lowering springs do more bad than good for performance... I don't see how it's so lost on people to use sway bars/anit-roll bars to eliminate excessive body roll.
But being slammed does look good!!!

When I brought my car home from dropping my coils, my mom told me my car looked stupid lol
Only problem I have is putting my car on blocks every time I jack it up, or using the scissor jack to bring it up so I can fit a jack under it lol
That and my fear of buying a motordyne and dragging it off everything in site!
