hey guys, i was wondering when you go over a speed bump if the bottom of your cl hits it. Not the bumper but right after the wheels go over the bump. Is this a common problem? And i dont even go over them really fast or anything. I have coilovers by the way

 

they must be really big speed bumps. i've never really had that problem and i keep my car pretty low.

i try to be very careful though.

 

Nope never

 

No never had that problem... got the CT drop with 18x7.5 rims running on 235/40/18s tires

 

hit the speed bump at an angle.... im usually safe that way

 

ive bottomed out a few times.. but then again i was dropped with tien ss all the way down... 3'' drop... ive since then raised it up to 2'' but it still hits sometimes if i hit it at the wrong angle

 

nope

 

Nope, not really. You should be OK.

 

Hasn't happened yet.

 

i have a ct drop with 19's and if i accidently go over a bump just a little to quick, it will rub. Nothing major though just barely grazes the wheel.

 

I've bottomed out with Eibach springs, but the damn bump was HUGE. Definitely not common, I drive like 40 miles a day.

 

Learn to angle your way up any speed bump.

 

when you bottom out though...what exactly under the car hits the ground?

 

most likely the exhaust.

 

i bottom out sometimes. depends on the size of the bump

 

i tried leaving acura of pasadena and my greddy midsection got pushed up against my car....or thats what it felt like =(

 

I scrape my drivers side lower control arm if I don't "creep" over the speed bumps. Still on OEM shocks after having my pro kit on from purchase in 2000.

Have the Comptech drop on stock rims/tires and i can go over speed bumps fairly briskly with no problems.

 

i would either angle it, or most likely just roll up to the bump and stop when the tires hit the front of it, then roll over it slowly, and the same with the back tires.... just to be safe.

 

Same here... except I have the H&R Sports (1.75" drop). I tend to hit speed bumps at an angle anyway... but even when I hit them "head-on", I've never bottomed out.....

 

The only speed bump Ive ever hit was the ones at my work, they're little but devious, I have the Tein SS on my car, but never really had a problem....just depends on the speed ur going and how big the bump is !

 

never happened
