my car is dropped on H-tech springs about a month ago. i normally can take speed bumps without "cutting" but i do it anyway. the other day i came across a 1 way driveway(fits one car = no room to cut) so i slowly went over it.
once one wheel would go over, my car would hit something underneath like some hard metal sound -_- could it be the frame? or something worse like my cat. or exhuast piping?

 

Could be a lot of things. Can't really tell you over the internet...

 

look under your car and see what hangs down the lowest... most likely either the exhaust, frame, or (but i hope not) oil pan. but get under... youll prob see the scratch marks it left

 

Just lay on the ground next to your car and look under it. I'm sure you be able to tell what scraped.

 

how much is your car lowered that you scrape over a speed bump?

 

its your echuast

 

it was dropped .75 all around i measured when it was new. so prob 1in. and it didnt really scrape. it kinda just slammed the bump or something after each wheel(front/back) went over the bump and down.

 

crap... i got a 2.25" drop sittin in my room... im gonna scrape everywhere!

 

im dropped like an inch and a half and i dont really scrape that much...

 

ahah yeah im surprised too! i scrape while cutting once in awhile on my stock lip. but w/es im gonna get an accord type R lip anyways..haha good luck with the 2.25"

 

do u have a lip/kit? and whats the size of your tires...i hope youre not on 225/60s hahah

 

oh and my problme wasnt the scraping it was a "CLUNK" noise that happened while going over a speed bump. first time it ever happend though.

scratching on the other hand is the worse sound u can ever hear.

 

im gonna be on 205/55/r15

werd

 

skunk2 race springs w/ 2.25" drop, with koni yellow shocks and obx f+r camber kits... if i get a lip its prob only gonna be a stock lip

 

nice setup. good thing youre doing it rigth with the cambers.

is that a R34 kit on your lude in your pic? im not big on body ktis anymore but that one looks nice. top it off with a kaminari rear lip.

 

that must be one hell of a speed bump to bottom out

 

haha seriously man. it was just 3 people in my lude. with month old KYB/TEAIN HTECH.

it sounded like metal so im guessing it was my exhuast pipe or cat. oh well i was jw if any major damage was done.

 

DP or Exhaust

 

did it sound like a huge metal sheet popping in and out like when you lean on a locker?.. if so could be your shock going bad. thats what mine did when i went over speed bumps slowely it sould be like:

if you will


"Clu-clunk"
