I am on 25mm springs, fully certified etc. Why should it be my Problem if some dimwit in his SUV tank does not see me while I am (partly) in front of him?!
Of course I could use my full coverage, but the increased rates would rip my wallet a new one, and since I am not at fault, this would be the worst option.
So, repair not possible for the moment and off to the lawyer we go...
Sorry for the rant, but this has to get out of my system, and in the German forums I want to keep quiet until this thing has been settled.

No doubt your lawyer and yourself have thought of this but I was curious about the normal height of some of the more common European sports cars and how they would compare.
No doubt these guys would have no issue collecting on insurance.
BRZ lowered 25mm = 51"
Mercedes Stock heights
Amg = 50"
SLC = 51"
SL = 51"
Porsche
718 = 50"
911 = 51"
Lotus = 45"
Jag F Type = 51"
Audi R8 = 48"
Fiat 124 = 48"
The list is not even nearly complete but clearly shows that 51" should not be considered abnormally low.
You get into some of the Super Cars and they make 51" look like an SUV in height!
