keep in mind if you are going to "pick up" on your car DO NOT do it on the fender it will fold. Basically if you have to lift the front any lift by the core support. As far as the worry of a tire blow out dont drive on bad tires and watch what you drive on/around.-tom

no expects to blow a tire ! I have blown tires that are a week or two old by hitting something in the road you cant avoid everything. Ive dug the front end into the ground blowing tires. Your only option is to dealwith it ! You gotta pay to play.

Default lowered cars

You can lower your car as low as you want just make sure you are careful and aware and hopefully you can prevent most of the unpreventable in the cases where you can't just deal with it!!!

i personally think its stupid for a road car to even be drop beyond not being able to go over a damn speed bumb i'd say 1.2-2 inch's is good enough...or just get some adjustable coilovers.

i agree. i use the stock honda jack to lift up a little of the car and then use the hydraulic jack to lift it up completely to change my oil.
