Just you.

Honestly, try to get in the habit of taking any bump at a 45 degree angle (speed bump, driveway, etc) and go slooowly when possible and you shouldn't have too many issues. My driveway gave me a whole new education in how strong our air dams are.

It's kinda like sex...get the entry speed and the angle just right and she'll thank you. Too fast and hard at the wrong angle and you're in for damage and loud noises.

I'm at stock height and I got stuck in a parking garage on an incline a few months ago. Also, its been snowing lately and i've been driving down roads that have tire prints with snow between them. Our cars are definatly lower because my bottom is pushing the snow between the tire prints.

....yeah about this car (Voice of boss from Office Space). Bought it used and it seemed like stock height. Switched the rims and I thought it was a little higher. Measurements say I don't have stock height.... I've should have known

Didn't really noticed but it's less than a finger wheel gap in the rear. Never scrapped at speed bump yet tho.

45 degrees it is...

stock height is good, doesn't need to be any lower unless your tracking.
