Lowered with problems?

Hey just wanted to know who has their FD lowered and had to tow the car? Was wondering if you ran into any problems when you got the FD towed?

i've got H&R springs and have been towed with my mom's jeep and been on a flatbed twice. one flatbed scraped my exhaust and didn't do the front lip any good, but what can ya do?

Cuz I am planning to invest in AAA where I get towing for 100 miles if my fd brakes down and was wondering if I lower my car would it damage anything if it was on a flat bed?

when you call, just request a flatbed and tell them that your car does sit low and to bring some long boards to make it easier to get up on it. might also want to shove something under your exhaust to prevent scrapage. i'd try to get AAA for damaging my $600 cat-back, but i was using my friend's account, so i don't think i'd get anywhere. either way, you'll be fine as long as you warn them that the car sits really low

Lowered here using Eibachs. Exhaust grinded on the ground coming off the flatbed. The pull-rope ripped my old FG front lip in half.

BTW, any REAL towing service won't touch the car unless they bring a flatbed.
