big problem

[armoredsoul006]

hey guys i have a body kit on my car which you can see at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2232663 and i have a the continueing problem of every time i bottom out or hit any minial thing my bumper cracks seemingly everytime . now besides the obvious of not hitting any thing or not bottoming out is there anything you can think of that i could use to stop this such as some material to reinforce the fiberglass that would help

Easy solution...Your car was lowered using rims/tires, you still have the origional susp. they will still travel like a passenger car. you should use bigger rims with bigger tires, and replace the front AND back springs.

----I can tell by looking that the tires are aftermarket, low pros like that were not popular enough when that car was made, and seen as how those rims are from a dif year pontiac that would explain the difference.

what is the sizes of the tires ???/?? z(letter)15,16,17 ?
and what is the front hight of the car bumper to ground.

not sure right off hand but i think they are 205/55r16 and i have about 4 or 5 inches clearance at most. also this weekend i had to fix the bumper so i rebuilt it with a complete aluminum sub-frame and reinforced all the regular break points with sheet metal i think it will hold now. what do you think? i am also planning on getting some 18's with low pro's in the future. my dad and grand dad think i should put an air suspension (air bag system) on the car for when i encounter an area that is dangerous for lower sitting cars like mine

well first off... i have to say that you really need to teach yourself how to drive again.... severe angles are now your best friend... paying more attention to whats on the road instead of whats far ahead of you... stuff like that

and not to be a dick (or flame or insult)... but you have an andys kit which is not all that strong or durable in the first place. What you can do though is put a few more layers of glass on the backside of the entire front end... I mean layers of fiberglass mat, or fleece AND the resin and allow for a 24 hour dry time just to be safe... if it still continues, then i dunno what to tell ya

do you have any pics of the damage? that could help determine the best answer also

thanks bro i already fixed and i agree it was very thin and flemsy when i reinforced it with both alot of glass and sheet metal then i put an aluminum subframe and i have retaught myself how to drive but i live out in the country and the roads aren"t always that easy to read but i do appreciate the input and help

[Sweet98GA]

yeah i hear ya on the country bit...

the most expensive solution is that you get air ride and lift ure ass up til u are parked, then bring it down... lol

[armoredsoul006]
