ummmmm....unless your car is slammed an inch about the ground or your kit hangs really low....your not gonna hit much, unless you go over a high speed bump...
of course your gonna scrape a bit at times.....but its not gonna hurt my baby!

well, you just gotta drive carefully.. I've had my car lowered for about 2 months now and have only scraped my exhaust on 1 or 2 speedbumps.. it's lowered about 2". I make a point not to follow ANY vehicle too close so I know what I'm coming up on-- I do a lot of highway driving.
depends on where you live and where you drive. here in minneapolis (minnesota), the roads suck during the summer (construction, potholes, etc.), and we have snow in the winter. i'd rather not turn my bumper in to a snowplow by lowering it!
get some custom-made aluminum/steel skidplates for the bottom of the car. it could help aerodynamics too...

well it kinda sucks driving around worring about what is ahead of u that u might hit or what roads u cant or can take and so on. In my opinion the car already
looks low with the oem skirt package because it hangs about 2inches lower than the stock frame and the wheel wells are already almost covered with tire
I have si 15" stock rims.

I'm gonna lower mine about an inch and a half when I get the money for springs and konis, but who knows when that will be. The car sits fairly low, but lower would look better.
if you want to go crazy low, you know the probs., so you just gotta live with them, if your just slammed then you learn to drive a little different, you pay more attention to sh-it on the road, and take your time over anything you think might rub....
