Even in stock sedan ride height, car is pretty low

I went to Walmart this morning, and to my horror, I actually touched the bottom black sill to the concrete border to stop the cars... Luckily I literally was crawling to it so nothing happend, but regardless... this car's stock drop is respectable

What freaks me out is that the Coupe is even lower than the sedan.... that's just asking for a scratchfest

Yup, the stock sedan allready is pretty low. I think there's only about 6 inches of clearance in the front. It's just that some people complain about the wheel gap and get lowering springs to try to fill the gap. But that is all just aesthetic. Personally the stock height is fine with me. Maybe a drop of half an inch would be optimal.

Huh, the coupe and the Z ride on shorter springs than the sedan, both are technically a lowered car compaired to the sedan. I have the 350Z suspension on my car, lowered by about 1". Here's a pic of a sedan spring next to a Z spring, coupe use's the same spring as the Z.
I have to be more carefull of parking lot bump stops for sure.
