how do you guys go over speeds bumps and up driveways, my car eats the curb almost every time and im stock height....

i just drove around on a spare for a day and i eat the road so many times because of bumps
 
for us ocd with our car types of people, who are only satisfied with complete garage confinement... i think adjustable height is the only way to make it work...
 
they are right ..angled entries and exits are the way to go..but also remember the steeper the incline or decline..the more angled you have to be..that helps alot..and if you have a drive way use planks of wood thats what i did..kinda sucked but i couldnt live without the look of a slammed ride when i had my honda..then i bought air ride and i pimped it.. now i dont care i just want performance but my habits of having a dropped car still have me angling on my dsm for no reason..ehh better safe then sorry

i use to think my car scraped on everything and it sits stock ride height but then i realized one day it was my damn hardplastic mudflaps. I realized this because one ripped off :)
 
Also keep your eyes far ahead. Scan where your going to be in 4 seconds for bumps, potholes and imperfections in the road. try to avoid them as much as possible and those you cant avoid, just take slowly and at an angle like everyone has said. You should be alright.
 
I agree angles and slow or you may see oil leaking out of your car because you ripped a hole in you oil filter. Trust me it isnt any type of fun. Angles are your friend, pot holes, rocks, inclined driveways, and man hole covers are not. Scan the road ahead and youll be fine. :dsm:
 
when you take your angle, is possible, reverse the direction of the tires away from the car's noise. It works for me.
