lowest part on the FRS?
Soo.... FML, lowered my car and keep running into the biggest speedbumps ever! everytime i pass the bump with my front wheels, theres always a little scrap sound, i was just wondering if anybody knows which part of the car is lowest? IE. fram, exhaust etc... im hoping its the exhaust but without lifting up the car, i cant be sure... anyways, gonna be avoiding that lot for every now... thanks in advance...

For my car, the only thing that ever rubs are the rear rally-armor mud flaps.

probably the hook under the driver's side of the hood. Its the only thing on my car showing scrapes and wear. Just look under and you should see it.

On my non-lowered FRS, the exhaust pipe is first to scrape, when I go over an apex where my driveway/sidewalk meet.

Not sure if jdm underpanels would help but you can give those a try. Hopefully they protect your pan and trans housing if you are really low.

I believe I scrape the skid plate and my midpipe. Occasionally some other part of the underbody, but the skid plate and the midpipe are probably the first things to scrape...

I have a Borla exhaust and coils so it's different from stock, but it's much lower than anything else on the car. I cringe every time.
