Default speedbump domination

how do you conquer a speed bump in a dumped car? i know the whole slow down and approach at an angle, but it seems that if your car is dumped. it will never work...

im thinking about slamming my car like this, but in chicago there are lots of speed bumps so i dont wanna kill my car and exhaust

Go really fast and then slam on the brakes like 5 feet before the bump. You'll totally dominate the speed bump....

Just raise the car to a sane height. Sacrificing functionality to look "cool" is pointless.

Ok, but how far down are u slammed, and what size tires are u riding on?

Jersey's streets look like the friggen surface of the moon..I'm dropped about 2 inches all the way around but I countered that by running 18inches on my rim size, and I didn't opt for a Dumb Low Profile tire (Toyota's tires are 20inchers straight up and down NAPKIN ON A NICKEL status and I'm paying dearly for it).

It works for me though, I don't scrape AS MUCH, occasionally there is a steep as incline that'll get me or a bump that'll get me but after the rim size increase I was good.
