Same in my apartment complex, any faster than 5mph over the bumps and you scrape the bottom of non lowered cars.

What complex are you in? I just graduated back in December. That city is miserable. Either speed bumps or potholes. I personally had no thought of lowering the car there. Wayyyyyy to many problems haha. What shop did you take it to btw?

I live at the lofts. They have fixed most of the potholes in the spring and summer, so it isn't too bad anymore. It used to be WAY worse. What color was your cobalt? There's only a couple in this town haha

Both roads to get there were miserable. I'm glad they took care of the potholes this summer. I remember them being a huge pain. You looked like you were drunk swerving left and right to miss them. I had the silver one. I know the guy who had the red one.

Edit* Just looked. I didn't see yours before I left town. Another silver one in the city I see

Mine is silver as well. I don't remember seeing another silver one. The red one with the "supercharged" license plate?

Other than that how are the roads in Florida? I'm seriously thinking about moving there in May and was wondering what to expect

I've never seen yours either. I'll be coming back for a football game next month so I hope to see yours around. And yup, that one is now totaled unfortunately.

IIRC he was lowered on springs with stock shocks/struts, so nothing too drastic drop-wise.

Yeah thats what i kind of thought. I wouldn't want a drastic drop here anyway lol. At least if you want to go anywhere at all I wouldn't

where in Florida are you looking at?
I'm in south Florida and the roads here are great.plus its all flat. really friendly on very low cars. I had my cobalt on ksports all the way down for a while and don't remember scrapping or hitting anything.

I'm looking at Pensacola. So northern florida. But that's good to know I can actually lower a car there (speed bumps permitting)

Well, just got the car back from the shop. Apparently everything with my exhaust is exactly how it should be. No bent hangers or anything. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait till May to lower it
