The front rarely scrapes but Ive had the underneath of the car grind/scrape on all sorts of stuff like speed bumps.

That is why I ultimately passed. Gfriend lives on street with ridiculous bumps and I scraped one day slow

but we have a completely different set of dampers and chassis. The magnetorheoligicals are bad a$$.

Yes it does. Just sharing my experience with it on the E63s platform which of course is way different. Thanks.

... are always a good time.
Car looks great!

I just installed a set of H&Rs on my C63. After a few weeks it has dropped about 0.25 more since install.

in San Francisco, I cannot do some driveways due to the drop. But for the most part, everything is good. Sometimes it's a bit harsh on our shi**y roads. But on the smooth twisties it's fantastic.

Be careful with the cement blocks in parking spaces. I almost crushed my CF lip.

Yikes!

I understand where you are coming from... my grand sport is dropped even lower than my GTS and I have always managed to get in and out of parking lots with out breaking anything or rubbing my aero to death using an angled entry as Vic mentioned... here is a pic of my vett.

so hills cause you issues??? never heard of that.... its not like I live in death valley-

We have tons of canyons, hills, etc, and I dont scrape. Angle driving is for severe undulations at low speeds. I dont ever scrape on hills

yeah hills probably the wrong term. A lot of steep driveways and roads here.

Yeah....

but my problem is I don’t see sudden drops on entrances. Anyway I’m sure it’s an art.

Nah. My GTS is stock height. And I had to build ramps and a draw bridge to get it into my garage. It happens.

After the Huracan and GT3, I swore I would never own a ride that needed a FAL again. Depends what your local roads and driveways are like. Mine scrape even going slow and some are too narrow to approach at angle.
