Went over parking block

[guybo]

These cars are so small that I am sloppy as hell when I park. I pull up 2' off the parking block, I'm a little slanted and I'm still all the way in the spot in most places. Remember, you're in a matchbox, you don't have to park perfectly

Very true. It took me about two weeks to adjust to having a lot less real estate in front of and behind me. I had a few horrible parking jobs during that time, but I've got it down pretty well now. Plus, like you said, you don't have to pull up to the end of the space and you have a ton of clearance in either direction. I'm always well clear of those bump curbs and my rear end is easily 2-3 feet in from the back of the space.

BTW, rear of ours IS higher. One can use that to advantage when parking over curb, or if parking with "wheel till curb". With one exception, if mudflaps like rallyarmor's are used. Backing up to kerb with those may break them off.
AND given all that daily driving experience of course i see even less any need to lower our already low at stock cars even further reducing that clearance & shock travel.

Two exceptions: rear diffusers (real ones, not the plastic crap they sell you at the dealer).

Icecreamtruk: including on unlowered car & with ones like Velox's street one with not as aggressively high & long fins?

Yes including that one. It still takes a good 1" to 2" from your height on the rear, and remember altho the diffuser is close to the bumper on its back section, its much closer to the ground where the axleback goes under it.
