Ahh yea that's decently low, is it a spring drop? if so what springs? lol

You must have hit some serious, on my drive to Toronto (go in for shows and work on occasion) there is spots where they tried to patch the asphalt and it's just a 2" pile of cold press..... lol

Then again I'm about 23.6" from fender to ground.

The car is still driveable. the steering makes a noise when i turn wheel and cross member is bent. I know you got pay to play. Thats the choice I made when I lowered my car. Just asking if anyone had this happen to them. Which i'm sure it has, Did you use your insurance company??

Tein s-tech springs 350z. There repaving the road so they take the top layer down a little. So now the manholes sit higher. Tried to avoid them until I had know where to go but over it. Cause of chicago cabbie's drive like idoits. But its my fault cause I know the roads in chicago are one the worst. I did this car cause I in joy it and show it off. Not to keep it in garage. I drive the s*** out of my. Love your car! NO HOMO

haha, thanks man.

Comes with love, break **** and fix it.

I would take it a shop and see what they want to fix it before you even contact insurance, if it's only slightly more than your deductible then just pay it an move on.

In Canada if you smash something in a construction zone or if the pavement is totally ****ed then you can contact the city and they will repair the car on their dime with 5 quotes. Friend of mine recently smashed his rear lip on his IS300 and it demo'd the rear bumper. Filed the report and what not, took 3 months to get the cheque in the mail but they did come through!

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Nah bags are for groceries.......


Seriously they won't help when that crater or huge piece of debris in the road suddenly appears out of nowhere.

Took the car in friday to see how much damage was done. It was about $2000 in damage. replacing cross member,knuckle,tranverse axle driver side and lower control arm passanger side plus alingement. They gave me a real hard time. But I figured they would. Well i'm dropping it off monday to get repairs done. Thanks guys for the advice on how to go about this with insurance company
