No. There are other things that sit lower than the oil pan. For the most part, I've never heard of anyone having oil pan scraping problems as a result of lowering the car...

If you manage to scrape your oil pan, or even puncture it by lowering, I will be very impressed...

Lower the car. I am sure we can put our heads together and figure out how to destroy the oil pan.

Maybe we could jump the car, definetly possible to do some damage. we might could get rucky and do the oil pan, make sure we have just done a oil change wif synthetic oil.
