It will be if you hit it hard enough, the plastic tanks will crack...... Just gotta go a little slower!

You must not drive lowered cars often, you need to be aware of everything when you do, that way you won't scrape

and most times its that flap under the car that scraps first but like others say just go up or down from a angle slow.
1 year lowered and nothing bad has happened*

My car is 3 fingers off the frame to the ground. you will hit but it will be in the middle of the car like your exhaust if anything. But take sharp angles and you will be fine.

well i dont usually hit the ground, more the parking stops when parking, doesnt happen as often now since im aware of it, just wanted to know if it would cause problems.

This is my first lowered car, i had a lowered ranger but it obviously is not as low as a car.
