lowering???

ok so im lowered on h and r springs with tokicos and I was just wondering has anyone messed their car up being so low? reason is what if you want to speed up to maybe around 80 on a 40 zone and you hit a bump, what will happen to your car?

Today I was going 80-ish on a 35 and went over couple bumps, I didnt hear nothing scraping or anything, it just scared me because i thought i would have damaged something. whats the worse that could happen to my car going fast on a bumpy road..

premature wear?
if the conditions keep up, they can 'fail' eventually. i wouldnt drive as if it were stock suspension set up just cause you have "performance" shocks than OE equipment. try to slow it down and beaware

You can still blow shocks if you beat on them. Just because they're blue and you paid for them doesn't make them indestructable. And don't do 80 in a 35. Its 35 for a reason.
