hi i have a 2k1 sedan with the erebuni shogun kit. fiberglass. i have had it on almost a month now but never had it over 55mph becuase im just afraid. today i ave to go on trip (a hour on a 70 mph road.) im just making shure it'l be ok to have the car up to 70 for an extended period of time. the sides are attached by 3M tape up top, screws in each well(#8 5/8inch long stainless screws) and 3 screws under neath holding to bottom of car. rear section is molded on with like 50 rivets holding it(i know back will hold.) anyways just let me know what u think and if it will be ok.

CGodwin3103 is an unknown quantity at this point
do you have lowering springs?

You should be fine.. I have a coupe, but a full kit with coilovers with nearly a 2inch drop and I go like 90 on I-10 everyday coming to and from anywhere.... even the bumps are ok... I haven't bottomed out yet thankfully, but unless you just happen to randomly find the perfect ecth in a dip or LARGE bump, you'll be fine, and you should still be ok if you do, you seem to have it secured tightly...

Go for it, try not to worry to much... I did it for so long with my kit... I go over speed bumps at 10-15 mph now, someimtes 20... without going out of a strait line... after a while you begin to know your car, when you scrap it will stick out in your mind.. from experience I know exactly where I am going to scratch on a bump 60 feet ahead of me, and can slow the car to brace for impact..

Don't worry to much, any good driver has a few scrapson the bottom of their kit... it's the practice and the experience that brings you confidence..

Have fun, don't worry, just look for huge bumps... take them a lil slower, until you are comfortable with how the next bump looks like it will hit... !

Good luck..
