So i might be driving my car, which is a lowered pretty far. i can clear most speed bumps ok, but i have to take a lot of hills at an angle. should i be able to make it on the farm, or would it be better to put the factory stuff back on to raise it back up?
I wouldn't want one too low. It's relatively flat but there could be a lot of debris laying around. I wouldn't risk f*cking up my car right when I got on the farm.
Yeah, what they said. Raise it back up or you'll be bottoming out a bit -- leaving Monday will be even more dicey with all the random stuff left behind.
It has coilovers, so i can just jack it up and take off the tires to change how low it is. and thats what i was thinking, i might have to jack it back up. with low cars, if i hit a hill head on i will bottom at really bad, but if i turn in at an angle i can usually make it.

Cool you have a scrapper. All i can say is , i had 3 people with me and our gear and my ride was scrapping at many points good luck with your mods on , i'd go back to the OEM or tighten them up.
yeah, when i first bought it the guy who had it before had dropped it too far to clear any speed bumps i ever went over without scraping, no matter how slow or careful i took them. and the body kit is molded, so i cant just pull everything without cutting it apart. :/
a 90 civic. it kinda sucks, but the motor got rebuilt about 2 months before i got it and i average about 38 miles to the gallon. so its great for a college car.
The streets of bonnaroo are pretty rough, you gotta watch your back but if you got street smarts you can make it out alive...
Haha that's what I was thinking when I read the thread title. I have a lowered car as well, but fortunately my dad made his Honda Pilot available to me for the weekend. It can be raised without too much problem, but I just got new tires on it and don't feel like walking back to my car on monday morning to see one of them flat.

Johnny Cornseed was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced corn trees to large parts of the east coast. He became an American legend, largely because of his kind and generous ways, his great leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance of corn.
so i figured out yesterday that i cant make it up the hill at my landlords office... think i might wait until after roo tho to fix the molding on the fenders. good thing is that thats a good stress point, so the bumper just breaks loose at the fenders instead of actually breaking.
I have a lowered Honda Fit that we took last year. Didn't have any problems and the only time anything was scraping the bottom of the car was when we were off the road and actually in the field parking... and that was just the grass hitting my exhaust.
I'm a little more concerned this year though with the possibility of rain... if the roads get anywhere close to what they looked like in some of the pictures from '04, I could have some issues, whether I'm lowered or not.

Yeah dude, you're quacked either way. From the weather thread..
Here is a picture from before we left the campgrounds on Monday in '04. Keep in mind that they had come through on Sunday and covered this road with 3-4" of LARGE gravel - which immediately just sank into the mud.
Many cars did have a hard time getting out. Also, they did not have specific areas for the RVs that year, so they were parked all over the farm. Most had to be dragged out by locals who brought their tractors and trucks.

yeah, my exhaust scrapes everything. i should put a scrub plate under it but thats a lotta work. its gonna look goofy for a couple days, cause i am gonna raise it as high as the coils will go right before i leave. probably wont help the aerodynamics any, and i wont be able to corner like i am used to, but would rather leave roo with my bumpers and exhaust still attached. EDIT: and if the field gets like that this year, i am gonna be getting pulled out even if i lift it as high as i can. and thats a nice vw, dont see them around here. its honda and mustang land here.
