Lowered Civics....Damage to under engine?
Lowered Civics....Damage to under engine?
Can you seriously damage anything under the front bumper if you slightly run into one of those parking blocks? you know those white/yellow cement blocks they put at parking spaces. I ran into a couple of those and hope I didnt mess anything up under there.....[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

It may mess up the underside of the bumper or something but nothing mechanical imo. The tires will hit and raise the car up before it gets a chance to contact the engine and such.

you really gotta be careful about that. i doubt it would damage anything though, you just don't wanna scrape up your bumper. make sure EVERYONE knows they can't drive your car if you've lowered it. they're all used to parking over the curb and stuff... mom drove my car (hers was in the shop) and when she parked, my bumper was touching the curb. I raised hell
btw, my ride is lowered 2.5"
btw, my ride is lowered 2.5" can the civic even park all the way if not lowered?
i accidentally did it once cause some idiot moved the concrete block..
i hit the rubber part underneith the bumper...lucky no paint scrapes...maybe that's what that rubber piece is for...hehe

My friend's GS-R has a 4-1 header that extends pretty much a few inches from the ground (due to the fact that the front of his car is LOW and unfortunately on 14s). I don't think the 4-in-1 headers that are available for our car extend THAT low. Just pointing out a possibility.
