low clearance

Our '04 Maxima seems to have less ground clearance than our 2000 model did. It scrapes occaisonally on slanted inclines and over speed bumps. Is anyone else having this problem?

Steep driveway approaches can be a problem. Not sure if it is less clearance or just longer wheel base.

Speed bumps? I used to have a lowered Z-28 and the headers would scrape some speed bumps but that hasn't been a problem in the Maxima yet.

Havent had much of a problem to date. My friends got the worst drive way every and the most i've done is hit the mufflers on the road. Speed bumps i havent hit despite the speed bumps here at the HALL were huge, tho they have shaved them so hopefully i wont be having problems with that.

I have scraping problems with my Maxima. I could not make it into my garage without scraping. (since my driveway is very steep) So I had to raise the floor in my garage to allow the car to have enough clearance over the floor.

My wife pulled up over a parking curb and the exhaust pipe hit the curb breaking a small mounting bracket.
