lowest section of the undercar

what is the lowest section of the undercar(excluding body kits)? Would it be the swaybar if one is installed or is there some thing else like the muffler. im just curiuos what is most likely to scrape if the car is dropped.

The most likely things to scrape are usually at the far ends of the car (front or back) and possibly the middle. The rear sway bar is the lowest point on the vehicle but since it's right at the wheels it will almost always clear since the wheels will lift it over the obstacle. The few times I hit is because the angle of something is so steep and I either hit the middle of the exhaust (resonator) because the front wheels have cleared the obstacle but the rear wheels haven't yet (think of teetering on the top of a mountain). At other times, the very end of the muffler tip will scrape if I go up a steep incline. I've only scraped in parking lots. I've never hit anything on the roads.

Front bumper, crossbrace, cat, and muffler... front to back.

If you have SFCs then they are the lowest point though.

yeah the part that usually scrapes is the middle part of the exhaust, right after the catalytic converter.
