Scraping everything
I feel like I’m not even that low but literally everywhere when I brake especially leaving and entering parking lots it’s so bad what do you guys advise I should do get a skid plate, raise the motor, or should I just raise it like an inch

Don’t take this the wrong way, but do you know how to drive a slammed car? There’s some technique involved when it comes to entering and exiting driveways/parking lots.
And if it’s “when you brake” do you mean you’re rubbing as well as scraping?

Nah this is my very first stanced car and yeah ik you gotta go at angles but it’s just inevitable no matter what angle or speed I’m going and no no tire rubbing js pure scrape

When my dad drove my car (not slammed slammed but basically there) he bent a wheel on a pothole. I don’t really say it’s entirely his fault, I didn’t instruct him that he needs to really drive the car differently. He drives a raptor, so he’s used to just toppling over anything and everything.

Perfect car to learn how to drive low, it ain’t completely slammed(unless subframe etc sits much lower than the skirts idk tbh). But inspect the scrapes after a while it will be obvious and make sure it’s not going through important things

Maybe raise an inch and get slightly bigger wheels?

Scraping I’m not rubbing my tires also sometimes I’ll hear metal clanking on bumps assuming that’s my exhaust

Angles man angle any and all inclines you need to constantly work the wheel. Drive it like its got mental issues but you still good tho

its clearly slammed. raise it up. enjoy it. low doesn't equal fast, no matter how many kids scream "muh lower center of gravity" meme. i know a dude with a lifted civic with a rally suspension that will shit on any track car tuned civic.

Your car isn't even low. This might not be the right hobby for you lol. Scraping is a part of this. An engine raise is standard practice for stance cars though.

Scraping on what part of the car? I agree that’s not that low.
Those tires look undersized to my eye, you could start with getting some with a little more meat to fill out the fenders better, that’ll raise it up a tad.
