    Ride Height

    I recently lowered my car with Eibach's. I love the ride, I corner like I'm on rails, but I scraped my zoomers yesterday when I drove over a fricking speed bump at the mall. From what I can see I scratched them a little (haven't had a chance to get under there yet and survey the dmg... this weekend), but doesn't look like anything major yet.

    So, my questions, is there any way to protect your exhaust short of re raising the vehicle or changing it out for stock (which rides a touch higher)? I don't much wanna do that, and I plan on avoiding ALL bumps from now on, but still, you never know...

    Swap it out for an air ride suspension?

    Hit the bump doing 90 mph or so. That way the suspension won't have time to rebound until after the rear wheels have cleared!

    Seriously, that's always a concern with a lowered car. It's also the reason I went with air. The cheapest option is to just try to be cautious of these situations. Also, like Hemi31 said, you may be able to tweak the Zoomers up a little bit (unless they're welded in place).
