speed bumps na hindi sumasayad ung ilalim.

Bro kung sa mga humps problem mo then try to go sideways on it .. parang pa zigzag yung daan mo .. kelangan isang gulong lang unang tatapak para hindi sabay pag angat at pag baba ng car .. by this it can avoid the cars under from touching the humps ..

hope it helps ..

naku, bakit ka naglowered?? joke lang.

ako din po lowered

if approaching a humps na hindi gaano kataasan, porma ka sa rightside then if you feel the hump coming, todo kabig papuntang left. dapat front right then sabay yung front left and rear right then todo kabig sa sa right.

kung sobrang taas naman na bumper pa lang sayad na. approach from the middle lane then kung malapit na kabig sa right then bawi todo para mauna yung wheel bago yung bumper. then same thing...

hope this helps... hassel lang minsan sa sa ibang motorist. hehehe

uu nga. d cguro maintindihan nung kasunod ano gusto mo gawin.
kung tatabi ka ba or what. hehehe...

So master, ung concept is to keep at least 1 tire on top of the humps?
tama po ba un? kaya diagonal ung approach?

approaching side ways to the humps on your lowered car is only good is you can maintain 1 wheel up on the humps... if you approach from the right side, just before your left front tire going down the humps, your rear right tire should be already going up the humps, this is the only way you can avoid your car hitting the humps...

but if you cannot do the above procedure, approaching sideways will not do you any good, better to approach the humps straight but slowly...

for example when you are entering a village guardhouse wherein your manuevering will be limited, even though you approached sideways still you cannot maintain 1 tire above the humps because of the limited space...

yup, thats the concept... pero the way i do it kasi yung front left and rear right sabay nakaanagat sa humps. then kung lapit na sa sidewalk kabig na todo right. hindi pa naman pumapalya yung technique. hehehe

minsan lang talaga, sa entrance ng mga guard house... wala ka choice than to just drive slow. yung akin kasi dati 0 gap na sa fender kaya sasayad talaga.

Hhmm, after reading all of your tips, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about a lowered car - is it really worth the hassle?

I know that damaging those body kits can be really expensive specially if it occurs often.

Mine is also a lowered car kay hassle sa humps , deep and
high ramps. Just drive slow and always avoid staight direction
when dealing with uneven ramps and humps. Medyo sideways
ang driving style. Welcome to the world of lowered vehicles.

sir kahit hindi nakabody kit, sayad pa din bumper sa humps lalo na kung sagad low rider.

actually, nasa taste yan ng tao if gusto niya lowered kasi ganda talaga ng stance IMO.. pero hassel lang kung sa malulupit na humps. sana sa ayala alabang na lang ako nakatira para hindi na zigzag. hehehe
