Oh yes, and half my under body aero panels are missing.

But go ahead and slam it more than that if you'd like
it's not the ride height, its your driving that's causing those scrapes. H&R springs is practically stock height imo, but if you drive your m3 like it's a jeep wrangler then of course you'd mess up the bottom of your car even at stock height

Pick-up truck, not Wrangler. I'd rather ride the bus than a Chryco.
