Dragging hasn't been much of a problem excapt for:
1) The entrance to F&MoNE's parking lot of all plsces! Takes entering/exiting at a vy sharp angle to avoid dragging it.
2)NH has at least 1 speed bump high enough to catch my spoiler. I've got a crack in front of my LH front wheel well to prove it! 8{
I'll fix it when I pull the spoiler for R&R early next spring.

Take driveways at an angle when you go in and out instead of heading straight in. That will make all the difference so you don't scrape on the steep ones.
For track, a simple improvement for your brakes is to remove the backing/dust plate at each wheel -- it's a quick change, you can go back to stock at any time, and it improves air flow to your brakes for improved cooling.

Mine has the deep spoiler too. It drags on driveways alot like Dr. Tommy says but it looks fantastic. The other downside is that you have to run brake cooling ducts if you run the car hard at the track. The spoiler keeps air from getting under the car and lifting it at speed(which is good) but that keeps cool air from getting into the wheel wells (which is bad) |

I didn't know it was optional. I think carb
cars sat a little lower, which made it worse. |

Standard on Euro cars, mine is a euro and I too have to be very careful not to drag. Looks good though! |

It was an option in the US. Mine has it (and I hate it). I drag it on everything. |
