~2.5 inch drop. Just about anything. 50 times a day?

reason i went with lowering only .75 inch or so is so i dont scrape anything. it would bug me sooo much if it scraped more than once a day. i dont know why people would lower there car more on a daily driver. track car you trailor sure, but not for something you drive all the time...

Scrape the front plastic every once in awhile. But its nothing too serious as long as i dont hit the lip.

Got a 92 gsr with H&R race springs with Koni yellows(front on the lowest, rear in mid)...rides beautiful except tires SUCK.

I'm lowered about 3".... the only things I really scrape is my front bumper occasionally if I'm coming out of a driveway onto a street or something where there's a sizable dip (I don't have a lip or anything)... also my factory B-pipe resonator is hanging lower than it's supposed to (about 2.5-3" clearance above the ground) and it will scrape on some speedbumps, and if the road goes up and then down, like at the top of a ramp or something.... my car HATES parking garage ramps.

Lowering stock torsion-bars in the front 3 inches is not a good thing.
It bottoms out over the smallest bumps. I can't believe nothing has broken yet

I'm dropped 2" and I almost never scrape. I angle up steep driveways and (almost) always make it okay. Occasionally I scrape the underside of the front bumper but it has never done any damage.

when I had my 15's, I scraped my Mugen lip all the time. Now my car isn't as low so I rarely scrape plus I'm a skillful driver when it comes to driveways and speed bumps

yep vx wheels, with about a 3.5 inch drop, one time my car got stuck trying to get out of a parking lot, it was sorta like a hill, the whole front dend was basically on the ground, and the car would not move no matter how much gas i gave it
