Default pfadt question

Once you lower the car on pfadt coil overs, can you actually go over speed bumps and dips in the road without scraping the bottom?

Depends on how low you go.. You can slam it on the ground or not.. I have them on my 03-Z and love them....

Short answer is no, clearance is clearance.

The coilovers do provide better ride/handling and handle whoop-dee-do's in the road better. But if you're going over a speed-bump slowly the only thing that matters is how low your car is not what type of springs/shocks you got.

You can go as low as your want.

If you really want to slam it get some rocker rails and frame savers for piece of mind
