scrapping when driving

[lovemyvt]

Hey all, bought this car couple months ago and already its bugging me. the problem is i cant even have a shopping load in my boot with out it scrapping when i drive over any hill or or bumps, especially on the main road when i go over dips or small hills. sorry for rambling :blah blah:

dont buy a low car with a huge bodykit then? either raise it or buy airbags

 

[nemesis_adrasteia]

pretty simple solution mate get some higher springs like stocky said or bags if youve got the dollars, or if want it that low take the body kit off

what was the point of this thread? its not a question or anything some one with common sense didnt already know? low car = scraping

cmon guys, settle

my money says this thread was started by one those ones that come from the planet venus, and if not shame shame shame.

btw looks like it would be illegally low anyways, hope they havent cut the springs

only looks that low cause its on grass in the picture, i know its really low and no im not an idiot, just wanted to know wat would be my best option. i live in country and roads are rough here. iv been told airbags are pretty rough driving on country roads

well i dont get the first reply all ive done from stock is throw a set of 18's on my vx and it scrapes the tyres on inner wheel arch plastics, No weight in it 1/4 a tank of fuel and still does it.

Even when i had the stock 16" alloys on it used to scrapes on certain bumps.

So just mouthing of its low and has body kit is the reason is a pi$$ poor excuse for a comment.

'duh' :hmmm: thats a good point brockee shouldve thought of that.


I use to own a 99 vt, the only scraping noise i ever had was that stupid plastic bumper under the front bar, i think its designed as a safegaurd from rocks and also to tell you your close to doing some damage, easy to check pop your head under the front and check it for scrapes.
