how low is too low

ok ive got erebuni kit that goes really low in comparison to other kit.. as of now i sit 3 and 5/8 off ground w/ 1" drop..... im getting B&G and i wanna drop it the full 3"....so in essence i'll be 1 and 5/8 off the ground.... which sounds to me like suicide.(most speed bumps are taller than 1 and 5/8.... what do you guys think is a safe height lol. idk im just thinking this over and now i see where people are calling me crazy..lol.

riley

I think for a daily driver it might be too low but it is your car so slam that bitch if you rally want to

your right...your bodykit hangs low as it is and if you lower b+g's all the way it may touch the ground. here's a pic of my car lowered all the way down with b+g's without a bodykit just to give you an idea

hello speed bump good buy body kit.

looks sweet slammed, but you have to look at where you drive. the average speed bump is about 4" high around here, too bad that body kit hangs down so far.

I did a 1.75" drop and got my exhaust custom bent and tucked up really nicely, so I never have to worry about speedbumps. Only thing that gets me, are steep driveways onto flat road. My exhaust will hit sometimes, but i usally take it slow and i can get around it.

I think those are Aerospeeds....
I like it hella low...but if it is a daily driver, then maybe you should just save for bags! Or if the roads where you live are good...then I say drop the fawk outta that bish.
