I'm thinking of lowering my max 1.5" up front and 1.3" in the back. Will this cause my car to bottom out whenever I hit a small pothole? I drive in NYC and we're notorious for em. Any experiences?

 

No you won't bottom out and get aftermarket shocks because it's guarenteed to blow if your drivin in NYC.

 

YOu should be okay with that setup.
that is a very minor drop, but you will want some aftermarket struts like stated above.

With that drop and some good struts, you should not get beat to death. That is what I am going to do because the potholes here are horrible too.

 

I have Tein-S Tech and AGX's... I live in Brooklyn and the streets here are horrible...Watch the road ahead of you. I just put on my hazards when its really bad like the FDR. Especially south-bound after 23rd st till Delancy... They're doing construction. There is something about NYC roads. As soon as I cross the Outerbridge into Staten Island the roads are crap!!! The feel of the ride I have to say is much tighter and more responsive, excelleration and braking better, but its also rougher. My girl complains but I just ignore her and say "this isnt a caddy baby"

 

drop that $heeet!
just dont buy the cheap stuff.

 

This is alway's the answer to this question

 

This is OT, but you will probably get some more .gif's to put in your sig of "Kobe Punchin'" from the Lakers/Timberwolves series right now. ha ha.
