It's bad to give out misinformation. A lowered twin with the correct suspension mods will out handle a stock twin.
As for scraping; don't go up steep driveways, take things at an angle if possible. avoid speed bumps. Park on the street when you can. Avoid places where you know the roads/driveways/speed bumps will damage your car. There's a kind of art form to driving a low car and not scraping it.
I'm on 18s and don't scrape. I also drive around town slowly and take all driveways at an almost 90* angle. I can make it over most speed bumps fine, but it it looks to be high than I avoid it. I also don't have a front lip yet though so that helps with ground clearance. Anything less than 3" will give you trouble if you're not cautious.
