Do they make skid plates for our mustangs?

[mikestoyz]

Jesus H christ....since installing the sportlines just over a week ago, I have scraped more than since Ive owned the car. First it was a crazy exit out of a gas station that hit the H pipe(I coulda took the turn a bit better), but then I got stuck on a street in the French Quarter that was being ripped up and the damn man hole covers scraped the mid body and even once was unable to avoid a engine/transmission hit(at <1mph). Today Im on a gravel(ungraded) driveway and the h pipe was singing along to the rocks hitting it.

UGH, seriously, can I make a skid plate for the WHOLE underside?

It gets even worse when you put 15's out back and 17's up front...

the only vid I could find was this crappy one, but you'll get the point

I have h and r super sports and have yet to scrape. Just be more careful

Look at where you're driving and that explains it

And here I thought San Francisco roads were shit. I'd be rocking a Raptor instead if I lived in New Orleans.

OP - Have you considered a slightly less aggressive drop? Or gearing up and getting SLIGHTLY taller tires.

if this is your DD seems kind of irresponsible to have it that low. i will be slamming my next 5.0 but its only a weekend ride.

His car is not that low, guys. Still, I drive in New Orleans as well and I am rocking the 4x4. Looks like crap, but I avoid most of these issues.

It will be worse, Mike, when you install the LCA relocation brackets, because those hang low on a car with stock ride height.

thats relative to everyones personal opinions. if my 5.0 were my DD in no way would i go more than a pro kit drop. but im 30 yrs old. now back in my early 20's i did have some pretty low cars and they were all DD. but its a PITA a young guy is willing to deal with to look cool.

U may wana check the the pipe install if it wasnt jacked up when tightened down it could be hanging lower then it should

The height of a relo bracket is only affected by tire size.

lol at relocation bracket comment, it mounts to the rear end of the car, strong logic

It's just another thing to drag. When you are driving to avoid obstacles, the brackets are another restriction.

Better sign you up for an AARP card then. I am 42 and I really don't think his car is that low in person.

Yes, I am aware. Don't be a dick. You are starting to give Danner and Thurber a run for their money in the shithead comments department. The relocation brackets hang lower than any other component, regardless of ride height.

Actually, I do need to adjust it. Notice the drivers side was way to low on spring install.

I'm 30, I DD my car and it's pretty slammed.

Wanna trade for my pro kit OP lol?

 

[seank]

Just make one. You can get aluminum sheet everywhere, 10-8 gauge Al should be enough protection and not add tons of weight.
