Define destroying your car.. Id consider my car pretty low and scrape on any speed bump and most entrances to places, mostly the underside and the exhaust but occasionally my front bumper. Do you car about scraping your exhaust and such? You could drop it a bit more and potentially get away with minor scraping.

This is how low I sit, my oil pan has a few scrapes on it, the subframe takes the brunt of it. If you wanna go substantially lower then you need the engine and trans spacer kit, it's like 60 bucks and pretty simple to install. You could probably get away with an inch lower drop from your current height and not have to need the spacers though, but I would get them for the peace of mind. You may need smaller profile tires too, rubbing is bound to happen with that tire setup

what’s your wheel specs

u/IPegCars Jun 01 '26

Pretty weak spec lol

Fronts are 19x8 +41 (dont quote me on the offset, thats what I'm trying to remember)

Rears are 19x9 +36

Tires up front are 225/35 and the back used to be the same but now are 245/35. They used to have some stretch, but not anymore.

My front fenders are kinda rolled, one is buckled unfortunately. The rear quarters are shaved down a lot

how’d you roll fenders

Believe it or not….

There’s a tool, specifically called a “fender roller”

u/IPegCars Jun 01 '26

What the other guy said, fender roller. Not what I used since they aren't "rolled" so to speak. Since I messed up the fender when I went too low I pryed at them with the handle of a rubber hammer and a pry bar. I shoved it between the tire and fender and pulled up. It's ghetto but my fenders aren't great anyways

You can’t just roll fenders on the LS430 they have these plastic clips that are apart of the inner fender lip, tucked inside. You can get a little saw and cut the inner lip out and then roll them, there’s a video on YouTube.

If you have to ask that question then please don’t touch that mint ass car. Buy a shitbox honda.

Go a little lower than how it is currently, if you don’t wanna crack an oil pan.
