ermm yeah, only way i'd get down from there is taking the wheels off and winding the coilies up
and 20minutes later i would be down that slope lol

You just have to grin and bear it really, when you're scraping or rubbing; it's the price you pay to have a lowered car. Anyway; that's what the splitter is for; mine has gashes and battle scars all over it.

The one thing i hate is when you naturally tense your sphincter when you know you're gonna rub

Naw... but if i go down the ramps too fast the splitter ALWAYS catches and pulls out about half way, so im stuck there like a t**t trying to push the thing back in after ive parked it! Thank god for that splitter. The bottom of the bumper would be a state without it!!
