Default Oil Pan

My car is very low.. As a result the oil pan's seen better days. Some of the bolt heads are scraped pretty badly and its developed a slight leak. Should I just order a stock replacement from Suncoast, or are other there better options? This is a low milage street car, so I can't imagine i'd need to step up to a deeper pan with better baffles. Anyone got one laying around they want to sell?

My car is also low but I have never scraped the oil pan. Are you lowered on springs or coilovers?

Its on springs.. I dont think its from bottoming out. I looks like the PO either backed up on to something or back off of something

It's your oil pan. If it breaks and you keep driving your motor will blow up.

I suggest you replace it and all the bolts too.

Thanks, but already past that.. Looking to see if there are good upgrades or if a stock replacement will do..
