That being said the usual scraping should be only on the far edges of the sides of the chassis and slightly diagonally across the rear... If you are scraping or touching down in the middle of the chassis or in the front then you are too low or your suspension setup is not right...
hi msan thanks ! but will a chassis that is scraped badly at the sides can cause the chassis to tweak more easily ?
