its pretty hard to tell you what to do unless we know what you have on the car (type of lowering kit, body kit, ect.)

check out the suspension and see if the car has coilovers. From the looks of it, it may. If it does then just raise the ride hieght a bit. If it doesnt then its pretty hard to do anything. Does your car bounce around bad on bumps?

the suspension is hard I imbelished the hits everything part a bit

in general it would be nice to be able to raise the car for speed bumps mostly, or even just raise it up a bit

you feel every bmp in the road, which doesnt really bother me till i hit a a little dip and the front end comes down and hits the tire or the ground.

or even some driveways when i come out or go in (as long as im not going out on any angle).

damn thats pretty bad... bring it up lol.... [>:]

If you have a bad ride then it sounds to me like the person just either put only springs without upgrading the shocks, got the really cheap coilovers, or even worse they just cut the springs. I would just take a tire off and see what you have, read what type of shocks are in there and if its coilovers or springs

Your wheels also look pretty small on the car, aside from looking much more proportionate, a larger wheel and tire combo will help you out a bit to preserve your bodywork.

well heres what i know

the shocks werent changed cause I have a leaking shock and the springs are just lowering spring

the rides not to bad but you really can feel every bump

the rims are 17's with low pro's on them so not really small

TheEngineer -> RE: front scrapes of everything (6/26/2006 7:32:27 AM)

get the shocks and struts replaced. So do you have any idea what type of springs are in the car because if they are cheap that could contribute as well, but id say you at least need some good struts. Ive always liked KYB's.
If it also has crappy springs and youve got some money you may want to go all out with coilovers but thats if youve got the cash
