    I havnt measured but the lowest part of my car is the exhaust just before the cat. A coke can cant fit under that bit. Thats the only part where ground and car meet when going over some speedbumps.
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    Lower than a standing coke can, with no bodykit.

    It's pretty much riding on the bumpstops, I replace the rubbers like every 2 months or so.

    And the exhaust pretty well has a hole scraped through it.

    My Berlina wagon is standard height, but would love it to be another 30 - 50mm higher so I didn't scrape the underneath when I'm out in the bush. Not going to worry about it now, as I'm getting my 4wd next month or January.

    Mines stock height. Still can't park in the local pub's car park. Or the TAFE one. Thank god the towbar takes all the hits.

    Mines stock... and by stock i mean jacked up like a friggin POS "drop the kiddies at school" SUV.

    The only time i have ever scraped the car on anythnig was when there was 4 people in the back seat and i was reversing out of a steep-ish driveway.

    It needs to be dropped... BIG TIME
