Swift scrape
so ive had swifts on my z for about 5k and just when i thought i would never scrape again, i went to los angeles and met gutters for the first time. does anybody else out here in the bay have problems scraping with swift springs on? they look and feel great, but the bottom of my car hates them.

There is a learning curve associated with driving a lowered vehicle. In fact, the learning curve applies to driving sports cars in general.

I scrape once in a while, yes. It does lower the car 1.2" inches after all.
