haha 14". i think that's a good height if you live in an area with pretty good roads. right now i'm 25" all around and my city really sucks so i scrape sometimes and i also scrape in the one parking that they just put a new speed bump in. now put up pix and hook me up with CA parts lol

You just gotta drive like a ninja and man up at speed bumps and stuff you can't avoid. I, along with others, am under 23" on pa roads so no excuses

we have a street called main street that if you do 30 and hit one of the bumps, you can catch a little bit of air. you got any of those?

how could you possible be at 23 inches? i could could barely fit my shoe under the tranny oil pan at 24 inches. i went out tonight and shined a flashlight under my car to check clearances in the driveway and holy **** this car is super low to the ground. enough that it makes me nervous. the tranny pan i would say is 2.5 inches from the ground.

the car handles like an absolute ******* beast though. its badass but ill probably end up raising it. sigh, i dont want to but its the best thing to do.

http://www.dieselgeek.com/servlet/Detail?no=375 Have you seen these? My car wouldn't survive as low as it is without mine. I say get one of those and keep it low, you'd get used to driving it like that. Post some pictures!
