How do cars with body kits make it over speedbumps?

Question

I have always wondered this you have probably seen cars with drop down body kits that look like they are going to touch the ground how do the cars go over speed bumps without touching the ground? do the wheels hit the speed bump first? or does the body kit? Or you drive the car fast over the speed bump so the car " Jumps" long enough to make it over the speed bumb without touching the ground? im not sure how these cars make it over I mostly see these on cars that are lowered and are tuners.

Answer 1

they dont i seen loads of them crack the front on them

Answer 2

As above and some speed bumps i drive slowly upto and if i hear nothing dragging i slowly lift the car over the hump and use the brakes to let it down slowly else my skirts drag sometimes and also i dont want my splitter hitting to floor hard from a high drop.and the same with the back wheels due to the rear spats being low,slowly bring the back wheels over the hump and brake drop the car down slowly.

Answer 3

you have to slow down to about 5 or 10 mph and steer your car to your left and once your front tires pass the bump steer to the  right so that your car is going at a side angle and not straight.

Answer 4

My car is low to the ground, you don't speed up over it, that would be dumb and rip your body kit to shreds.

It's not hard to do, when you get to a speed bump you just slow down and then turn the wheel, so you drive over the speed bump at an angle, then you turn the wheel the other way to get the rear over the bump without hitting it. It's a lot easier to show you then it is to say, i tried finding a video on youtube, but there's nothing. It's not hard to do though, but i see a lot of people just drive straight over it and damage their body kits or scrape the bottom of their lowered cars.
