My worst fear came true. My exhaust scrapes as I exit my drive way. Grrrr....Grrrrrrr

This stupid bolt on the mid section seems to be the issue. I'm not sure if any other part is scraping, but evidently this is where my first problem is:

Well yesterday I only did the rears. Today I finished up the rest and im guessing the springs settled in a bit more.

My choices are: get some of that bolt chopped off (?) or let it grind itself down

I like the stance of the car as it is. That bolt has always given me problems even when I was just at a mild drop (as seen at the meets).

Just viewed a pic I took, and it looks like the test pipes also (barely) scrape:

I wish I can say I barely scrape..the stupid ramps at my work garage is THE WORST. Seriously I feel the bottom of the car pushing up against me...I don't even want to see my mid carriage.

Yeah, because that's actually laying on the ground

I successfully managed to get out of my driveway today without scraping. My driveway's entrance is very narrow so I have almost no room for angle. But a small angle gives me just enough clearance (or so it seems during my exit).

Damn Shane, driving low can be a PITA! I don't know how you can do it on a daily driver. Let me have some of those No Fat Chick stickers

I'll have to adjust to the lower clearance. Speed bumps get me nervous
