speed bumps??

Ok I have a 2002 wrx, I have it lowered with H&R springs 1.5 in the front, 1.4 in the back, and I am thinking about putting a c-west kit on my car, the big question is= Will I hit those nasty big speed bumps that are in parking garages, the monster ones that are like big plastic things???? and also will my car be to low for normal driving in general??

For the speedbumps: go slowly, and drive diagonally over them. That is all I can say Didn't really help, huh?

It'll be fine probably. You'll just have to worry about pesky driveways and speed bumps. but Choku gave the best advice... slowly and diagonally.

Your always gonna run the risk of going too low because you can never predict what the roads are always going to be like. In general I think youll be ok though. How does your car do now with just being lowered?

it handles fine lowered, I can speed all I want and never scrape, thanks for the advice, I am still deciding whether to put the body kit or just go full out rally style, yea I had a clunk sound after a year of being lowered and I just had the rubber screw things loosened so there was less room for the spring to move and it went away for the most part
