With the setup on my car as is - I sit about 4 inches off the ground.

Am I going to have an issue with bottoming out on some of these roads in Myrtle Beach.

I didn't bring Kermie last year and I rode with everyone and if I remember there were a TON of ruts in the road.

So I am really worried about constantly scraping if I need to cross the road, change lanes, etc.

Anyone know?:confused: :confused: :confused:

No you should not have any issues with scraping or bottoming out. The only major problems with those issues are when crusing the strip. Truning off of the strip and onto another street is some of the bad spots. As you are crusing the strip notice how much difference there is in height and angle of the streets that trun off of the strip. Some of those are KILLERS OF SUSPENSION. As far as lane changes you will not have a problem.

I had a Roush & when you washed it my foot would get hung under the front bumper this car dragged everywhere. I drove it to MW 2 times & never had a problem. I really never did hit the strip on the car just from point A to B type stuff.

My only problem would be the cdc chin, I could always take it off and store it in the hotel room till show day. lol

Naaa...you want have any problems. I didn't scrape on anything.

Now...the parking garage at the hotel we stayed at last year was a different story...I didn't even attempt it.

I never had a problem. I even took my Honda S2000 which is lowered ( and its only 4 in off ground STOCK, YIKES ) and there where only a few places I couldn't get it.

haha...my oil pan has been sitting 3" off the ground, but the car is absolutely slammed on its ass, because the coilovers are at their lowest.

ifyou hit anything it should only be the exhaust which isn't a big deal, and you can angle the car to not scrape the front when pulling into lots or off the streets.. my 87gt was lowered to the point where the front wheels tucked about a 1/4 inch into the wheel wells, and the only thing I ever hit was my h-pipe..
