Back in the 60s people argued that tail fins improved vehicle stability when the fact of the matter was that they were merely fashion statements. I'm seing the same kind of logic here.

If you care about avoiding road debris... don't sit your car on the ground. Maintain some ground clearance.

My car looks better and handles better than any stock scion. And it was cheaper too. And even before I lowered it, it's not like you could "straddle road debris" except for a plastic bag.

Oh, and if you don't understand how upgraded springs/shocks/struts and adding a sway bar improve handling, I don't care how old you anyone is, this conversation isn't going anywhere.... Its not just road debris, its the truck that pulls out in front of you with 20 feet to spare. Its the drunk that swerves across the median right into you. My suspension will stick, yours will rock like a tuna boat. God forbid there's more than a slight crosswind for any of this.
