Did you bump your head after the change?

I was curious about what happens when adding lowering springs to a car you have driven on stock springs for awhile.

My question is this:

Did you ever bump your head after switching to lowering springs because you had gotten used to the higher height of the door frame with your stock shocks?


Signed,

Ouch!

If you bump your head getting into your own car, even after it's lowered a bit, you really shouldn't be driving it in the first place.

i've bumped my head while i was IN my car going over a bump. actually i didn't, but i would have if i didn't have my seat-belt. i basically have to clumb out of my car, and you might lieterally think your dropping to the ground while sitting down tho. but as to bumping your head on the door cause its too low, nah, but my friends have when they're drunk.

True story: One time a friend had a lowered cavilier. That was his first mistake, lol! anyway, he was mad, threw open the door, got halfway in before the door bounced back, and the corner hit him right behind the ear! knocked him out cold! i had to drive us home. Was it because of the drop? nah, only stupid people don't know how to get into a car! If your that worried, buy a helmet!!

Too serious?? How? I mean, I'm 6'4" almost....my car is pretty low, but that has NO effect on me hitting my head while getting out. Even when Im high or drunk Ill make it out fine.

Just LOOK where youre moving....how much harder is it than that?

Just giving an honest example of how not paying attention leads to head injuries. Sorry to be harsh, but pay attention and your head will be fine.
