Lowered Fits...

How high off the ground is your car, and what kind of springs are you using?

When I lowered my S2k with Tein S-techs, I found it was waay too low, I couldnt go through car washes, and every speed bump was a nightmare. I figured that the S2k was low enough as it was, so lowering it more gave me problems.

The Fit sits quite a bit higher, so lowering it doesn't seem like it would be such an issue. so for those who are lowered, are you still able to go through car washes, speed bumps etc without scraping the crap out of your car?

Going through car washes! OMG!!! What are you don't taking an S2k through a car wash! I don't let anyone touch my car let alone a brush from a car wash!

As far as the speedbumps go, that's why they call them speedbumps. :-)

there's nothing wrong with a brushless car wash. saves time and money. as far as speed bumps go, in the S I would come to a stop then roll over them, if I didn't hit the right angle, it would scrape the underbody, hard.
