my car is 3.5" - 3.75" off the ground. i looked up what the clearance should be with my tires (245/50/16), and the chart says it should be about 4.5" - 5" off the ground. i thought it had been lowered by the previous owner, but the springs look stock. will old shocks make it drop that much. i expected a 1/4" - 1/2", not over an inch. is this normal??? also, being so low, my oil pan is destroyed. has any one made a skid plate for these things. i am interesed in hearing what has been attempted before making one of my own. the is a local place i think i can get to make one, if all works out, it may be cheaper to have a few made, if anyone is interested. it's such a bitch to change the oil pan, i don't want to do it a third time.
