    That's a possibility. That's why I may not be lowering the front another inch like I thought I was. I drive my little scooter careful anyway bc I get tired of hearing the rear strut mount squeak.

      I've scraped the trans crossmember on a few speed bumps before and I'm only 2" lower.. That's why I worry about these being too low for me.

        Those must be some huge speed bumps but where this bar is placed it should have no problem not being scrapped unless your going a decent speed over the bumps. The bar shouldn't hit because it is directly inline with the wheels and if your going slow enough i'd doubt the crossmember scraps in that area.

            He may have been rolling. But the only thing that scrapes on my car is my exhaust right where it bends under to miss the rear sub frame. I have almost wore a hole in it. Other than that, and beating my front lip, nothing else has drug, and mine is lowered a advertised 1.8 all the way around.

            And speaking of raised man holes, they are doing construction by my apartment, and they have like 6 or 7 raised man holes, and every time I see them, my butt hole puckers. I can just see my car just snagging one of those and ripping my car apart.

                  Did you put the front bar on while he was there?

                              Hey Alex I got mine put on today. It did rub a bit on my exhaust but nothing to bad. On the flange where the header and exhaust actually meet. Might just cut some of the flange off though!
