Hello! I have the CorkSport Lowering Springs installed on my 2015 Mazda 3 sedan. I kind of anticipated some scrapes on occasion, but at the exit from my mother's apartment complex, I hear it, and it sounds really bad. I always worry I'm going to rip something off of my car. I tried going out and alternate exit last night and had it scrape much less, but I'm still worried. Are parts of the frame most likely to get damaged? Expensive repairs? What can I do to mitigate the unintended consequences of my car looking badass. LOL! Thanks.

I think eibachs or h&r 's can still make your car look badass with the right setup. The problems you are having scraping are the exact reasons I didn't get the corksport springs. Imo it's just too low. But that's just me.
I would rather be able to drive my car anywhere without having to worry about damaging it. Sometimes you just have to take certain routes right?

Living in houston and seeing all the messed up streets as well as the abundance of steep driveways to everything is why I will never lower my car.
In-fact, I still have to be very careful and go through some driveways/entrances at a slow angle to make sure that I don't scrape - and I'm at stock ride height haha.

I'm on CS springs in Richmond, Va which has notoriously terrible streets and I get by fine even with the appearance package. Key is to hit everything at a crucial angle, like almost parallel. Going slow won't matter without the approach angle.

Have a skid plate made for your undercarriage where you are bottoming out. That way nothing will get damaged.
