well i suppose this isnt lt1 related but... im having a lot of trouble getting my car to clear speed bumps w/o slamming something on the ground or gracefully scrapping something...

not exactly sure what im scrapping or slamming but ive plenty of both, there is a dent in both tranny and engine oil pans, along w/ my y-pipe...

why do am i so low, im pretty sure its stock suspension w/ stock tires...

atleast in the back i know its got the stock orange suspension

 

also there is a football size whole in my front bumper from scrapping, and my exhaust pipes are all scratched up (rusted too but i cant blame that on the suspension ) but anywho, another question is how do i avoid scrapping my exhaust and my bumper, i want to get a borla exhaust and dont wanna mess it up after i do... and i also wanna get a ls1 ws6 front end style and dont want that all ripped up either.

how do i prevent these things?

 

I dont have too many issues with lowered/ground effects and longtubes.

Key is go over them SUPER slow, and and a sharp angle. If 90º is straight on, i always try 45º

 

Get some new shocks and springs. Stock ones sag with age.

 

have you any recomendations?

i'd like to handle better too but i dont wanna sit this low.

 

The eibach pro-kit is about an inch lower then stock, and is a very good handling spring. Good compromise.
