Mud-flap woes

[freeride53]

Well I've really driven my car around with the front mud flaps on for a few days now combined. Sadly, I've discovered that on speed bumps, normal to hard turns, and driveways, they scrape the pavement badly. My car has Bilstein sports, Eibach pro coils, and sways. Does anyone else with similar (or maybe even lower) suspensions find that their mudflaps make contact with the ground quite often? I am afraid that I'm going to destroy these brand-new OEM Mud flaps, and maybe even shear them off when I take my car up to the Sierras in a week or two.

Same here. Mine have been scuffing speed bumps for more than a year now and they're fine. Just make sure they are attached securely and you're good, they're tougher that you think.

I tried running mudflaps on mine. They were promptly ripped off, but I'm lower than you.

I would suggest getting non-oem ones that are flat and softer. Almost like the rally flaps. They bend enough when hitting speed bumps but hard enough to now flap on the freeway.

Just let them rub until they wear down to were they don't rub anymore.

Problem solved. ;)

Bad news. I went for a normal drive out on the windies in the hill above my house, and it was HELL. Every single corner, I hear the flaps getting scraped to shit on the cement.
Came home and noticed that the fastener clips on the drivers side had blown off(i am a bit biased to right cornering). Now the drivers side flap is dangling on the the bolt :(
Think I'm gonna take them off before my day adventures next week...

Yikes that's no fun. As mentioned, soft/flexible flaps FTW. Mine scrape all the time and it doesn't bother me at all because I know they will just flex.

The mudflaps could not handle my youthful driving style.

I really want a set just to scrape.
