We should get a lowered database w/ places to avoid by ZipCode, lol.
We get to Vegas a few times a year and some of those older casinos have some sick speed bumps and the dreaded speed humps. Almost had to reverse out of the Riviera underground parking since they had a steep downward slope into a high and long speed hump, definitely a dreadful situation when you're livin' low. Just got coilovers (installing them this weekend) so I'll be raising the front about 1/2". (I'm about 25.5" to the fender lip).
eVitO nailed it, those braided flex covers on the Y-pipe look like they got hit w/ an angle grinder. I've replaced those pop clips on the plastic under-pan a couple times, finally found an aftermarket NAPA clip that seems to hang on much better than the Nissan ones.
I've gotten pretty good at bump navigation, really does give you a whole new sense of "road awareness" when you're lowered, really got to be alert out there for sure. In the end it's all worth it though, it's going to be tough to raise it up, but a little should make everyday driving a bit easier and still keep it pretty low (a little tire under the fender, lol)

Wow, your car is slammed! I'm already complaining and you definitely are much lower than I am. Do you notice how low the front engine cradle sits from the ground?
This is the part I am referring to. Check out picture number 10.
Thanks a lot! Your car is clean as well! :JAMIN:

This was back when I was slammed on coupe H&Rs!

BTW, I caved in and raised my car up a bit.

I really like the VMR 710s. They looked great, the finish has held up very well, they balanced with no issues and they have nice sizes for the G. Customer service with VMR was good as well. They're a value set, and as long as you are realistic with how you will utilize the wheels, they can add great aesthetic appeal to your ride. They have a good reputation with Euro guys and so far I have not had any issues.
