I just dropped my 03 sedan on Megan streets. I don't think I'm maxxed out in the front yet but I'm pretty low (and on the stiffest settings). I still have some room to go lower in the back. My 55 sidewall tires make the ride much better!








I dont scratch that much (I've only been lowered for a week) but when I do, I want to make sure it's just parts like the y pipe, etc. I won't be scraping my oil pan, will I? That's my biggest worry. I'm OK with scraping my exhaust/bumper but I don't want to damage anything important. Also I really think something is rubbing or I'm bottoming out ( I have 55 sidewall tires) sometimes when I go over bumps or dips on the freeway and I don't catch them in time, I hear this scraping sort of sound (also happens when I'm cornering hard). Could this be my tires hitting something or my upper control arm touching the upper portion of the wheel well area?


I'll get some better pictures after my next wash.

How high must your spring rates be to keep the upper a-arms from hitting the strut tower? I mean, my car isn't exactly slammed and I have my shock near max and it rides pretty firm and I still manage to hit the strut tower when I get big pot holes ( which seem to sneek up on me, those bastards! ). Thank God it's a rare event though...but from some of the pics here it looks like the A-arms are hitting the tower...even when just standing still!
