To those both with and without kits.. I don't have a Cobalt SS SC yet, but I'm planning on getting an '07 this upcoming spring. Just wondering if any of you bottom out much. My '98 Camaro does if I don't take some driveways/streets at big angles and so does my buddy's '95 Neon. What's the word on bottoming out in this community?

 

If your lowered yea, i know i sometimes bottom out, but not the bumper, just the black rubber piece under the bumper.

 

I know you are looking for info on the SS, sorry, I don't have one. However, I had to remove my RK Sport front lip from my LS while still on stock suspension from always bottoming out over driveways.

That's one thing I really like about BWM's, the front axle is all the way up in the front of the car, so there isn't much forward of that line to ground out against anything.

 

my front spoiler scrapes the ground once in a while but thats about it.

 

I am dropped on H&R springs and the airdamn in front always hits and on good bumps i bottom out in the wheel wells.

 

Up until I had the bumper replaced I tried to avoid it as best I could. But now with the new 1 I'm pretty much used to what entrances I have to take to get to/to leave certain stores or buildings and not scrape.

 

I scrape a lot on stock suspension. Most places I can avoid it, but there are some hills around here no matter how I take them I scrape.

 

I scraped my front coming out of a parking lot yesterday. Couldn't angle it at all so I had to hear it. Only had it a week and already.... BTW, stock springs and ride height.

 

yes you will scrape. **** happens.

 

My boyfriend has an SS S/C and he bottoms out a lot. Thank you Missouri roads!

 

To add to my earlier comment, I'm now on Eibach Pro-kit springs with the stock LS front end and I no longer have a problem. I'm going to replace the front facia with the SS/NA (no lip) in the future. I'll retain my clearance, and get the look I want.

 

Bottom out on drivways and my tail pipe does sometimes too

 

i hardly scrape, but its nearly impossible for me to get a jack under the car

 

Well, actually now that I look at it.. the Drifter 2 Uniflex body kit I'm looking at is just a tiny bit lower (the front fascia) than the OEM SS/SC front lip. I'm sure it'll be okay. Thanks for all the input, guys!

Oh, and to get it on a jack.. try driving the car up on a few pieces of 2x4s? It works with some guys I know who have real low cars.

 

i bottem outr and scrape left and right... and have a lip kit in my basement so airride first lol

 

ya ive had to use the 2X4s alot and i mean ALOT, when i got my car aligned i had them in the trunk and thank god i did...NTB couldnt get my car on the lift and didnt have anything
