The other day I went to KFC and bottomed out some how. I was moving from the street to the parking lot. It was not troublesome "looking" hump at all, but I got stuck. I turned at an angle but not to angled because it was a normal looking turn in. Couldn't move forward or reverse. Had to take off VDC so I could spin the tires in reverse to get free. Just have some 19s on stock suspension so far.

Also had problems at parking deck/lot behind that Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, but that's another story. Got

Any other of you guys had any similar problems with stock height?

 

Im lowered 1" and I dont have any problems.

 

Never gotten stuck, but then again i look at what i'm about to encounter.

 

Are you the original owner? If not, maybe you are not stock height..

You gotta just see where you can and can't go with the z.

<- lowered 1.5" with v2 bumper (scraped at tbell/kfc today also )

 

Most Z owners go lower, so I'm pretty sure you'll be in the minority in terms of thinking stock height is "too low"....

What'd ya get at KFC?? Mashed potatos, right? Right?? Ya.....

 

Qft. Just gotta be aware. Find better ways into parking lots. Only problem I have is my underground parking. Gotta go real slow and no passengers.

 

I really hope your car was lowered prior to you purchasing it or you need to learn how to drive LOL

OEM height was never a problem anywhere except my wacky driveway.

 

That's some of what I was thinkin too. Have about 2 fingers of wheel gap, nothing hangin low under the car... Oh well. Guess I'm driving in at some greater angles now.

12 piece, mashed potatos, and MAC n CHEESE (2 times)

 

Lol, ur right on one of those. ...hope it's the first option, lol

 

The only time i scraped my car at stock height was when i had to go down a ramp in a parking lot with like a 80 degree gradient, ****ing ridiculous! I just got my car lowered 3 days ago. It looks amazing, way better than stock, the y-pipes like 4" off the ground now lol, but i havent scraped any drive ways or anything yet.

And like someone said, maybe the car was lowered before you bought it, if your not the first owner.

 

my integra is like an inch off the floor. and i dont have problems, drive better! my z is lowered 1.5" and i dont have to go sideways over anything

 

I'm about to break out the tape measure now...

 

you have two fingers of wheel gap? Like two vertical fingers or two fingers on top of each other gap? Cuz if its two fingers on top of each other gap, thats def lowered. I could fit a fist and maybe more on my wheel gap....

 

I scrape all the time I'm lowered on tein S. With 19" Volks. I have to go at an angle all the time. It happenes almost everytime I go out. The Antelope Valley has the worst drive ways..

 

Papa bear says stock is too low.
Momma bear says too high.
Baby bear says just right.

 

Stock height is too high.

 

I think I scraped once at stock height. Lot of bad driveways in dt Atlanta.

I'm at stock height with a vertex lip so gotta be even more careful.

It definitely sits lower than most cars on the road but you just gotta be careful. Angles are your friend

 

Wait...so you got stuck like a seesaw? haha that's gotta be awkward

 

Stock height can definitely bottom and scrape at some places.

 

there is only 1 thing that i can think of that should solve your issue...hit the gym LOOSE SOME WEIGHT!
