Default Ever hit a highway reflector when changing lanes?

I put on my new suspension this weekend and had planned to stay slammed. I don't know how anyone drives around all the time like this. I thought "Oh, everyone in the slammed thread does it" I don't know if it's just the roads around here, but I've heard too many gut wrenching noises come from under my car to drive around like this for long. Figured we might as well take some new shots. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.

I think if I raised it up it would be nice. I just hit bump stops too much to know how well it really rides. I'm gonna raise it a tad in the front and it should ride like a charm.

with the front about a 1/2in higher, it should ride way better..theres too big of a difference in ride height between the front and rear..remember to keep the front at least 1/4in lower than the rear..ive always liked my cars like that

your car looks good btw
