one more thing, if your friends are in the car and you have to go over a tall speedbump, don't be afraid to kick their asses out Same goes for steep driveways. Tell them to get out and wait while you go over the bump/go up the driveway.

Never let your girl drive you lowered car over speedbumps. Unless she knows how to drive a lowered car.

Nice. I didn't even think about more than half of these tips such as the opening the doors near a curb. I won't drive more than 1 person and that person has to be lean. Thanks for all the tips guys!

my car is pretty low and I'm running an 18x7.5 +40 and I can have 3 people in my car and not rub. and not just 3 small people haha. Two of them were guys and they were probably 150 and 200 ish. So, you can have people in your car, just kick them out if theres a big speedbump/driveway

Might I suggest adding this decal to the back of your window?



Your car might get key'ed sometimes, but that's a consequence of driving a pimping dropped car!

With a finger gap you shouldn't have to worry about not being able to drive with larger people... just have to be more aware of your height with them in it. You'd have to tuck at least maybe half the tire before you have to worry about not being able to move with fat people in the car

Whats wrong with valet drivers?

i am kinda of heavy and my friends are kinda heavy we all jump in my car to go places, it won't really rub, just watch out for potholes and speed bumps. Also use your fog lights at night, they help big time.

Valet drivers might not now that your car is lowered. They probably won't be as careful because they're used to just driving regular cars.

I just tell them to get out before I park near the curbs. I turn on the blinkers when I get in & out the steep entrances, but I still get yelled at.. You got to love New Yorkers...lol...
