Too low?

Just bored so I wanted to share my new setup! It's called useless trash lowrider. Just kidding the parking spot is angled into a gutter. The guy who parked next to me asked how I drive like that? I said it can be tricky at times.

No such thing as too low.. lol my car is quite similar. Go through front lips like they are going out of business. Hence why I never shell out for a nice one, rather just buy the cheap ones because I know they are going to take a beating.

That would be great for plowing the driveway during NH winters.

I have new jack mounts for my car but I can't install them on because my small jack won't fit in there with an added inch on the non-mangled mount. May need some proper ramps in the future.

Get a lowboy jack like a Pittsburgh and you'll be good unless you're lower than 1 1/2".

When I had my M3 my diff cooler would scrape everywhere. My front did well with the mporium undertray and vorstiener lip. I'd go lower if it wasn't for the diff cooler hitting everything. The diff cooler is pretty stout though. Never cracked.

As for lifting the car, just build little steps with wood ramps. None of the low profile jacks fit under my car.

I miss having an actual low car sometimes but the roads in my area just seem to get worse. My bumper started sagging a bit before I sold it because the tabs were bending with hits.

I got one similar, but it doesn't clear the front bumper to snag the center lift point. I got an old small craftsman jack to lift up on the fender point to slide the other one in. Not ideal, but it works for now. I really want a quick jack system but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.

Yeah I can't reach that center one either
