Don't wanna sound like a parrot but watch out for those speed bumps and pot holes! I avoid standing water and bumps like the plague.

Where do you get these and how much $? My cars not even lowered and scrapes somewhere at least once a day. Can't even imagine what lowering does for the scraping blues.

Thank you,
