remember tho that he only had less than an inch of clearence on his exhaust. if you want to scrape everywhere you go thats fine but if you do dump it. get some rims tooSuzie-Q wrote:jesus christ! that car is f!@#ing low!!! it's actually not too far from where i want mine!those kind of pictures are inspirational
Seriously dumped+stock rims or steelies= dumb. here's a pic to show you what i mean.azn2nr wrote:get some rims too

this doesnt matter since the bumpstops aren't going to move. Of course, if you're constantly going from ~200lb/in to infinity, your car isn't going to handle quite the same. Modified evos and m3s often have trouble with bumpstop collisions.LaureltheQueen wrote: Here's a photo of me at an autocross with merely a 1.5 inch drop not maxing out my tires and accelerating(lifting the front end slightly)

uzie-q... Another thing that I want to bring to your attention, if you drop the car very far, and don't get significantly stiffer springs, then you'll run the risk of scraping the shit out of your bumper.

another thing to think about, is if you were to put really stiff springs on the car, you risk rattling and loosening the chassis making it sloppier and squeaky. Happened to my 91 after the springs/struts went on.
Actually, lower profile tires make the car looked jacked up.Suzie-Q wrote:I think i've settled on 16" rims with 205/50 tires, and i'm only planning on lowering my car 1.75" via new springs. i'm hoping the larger rims and thinner tires will make my car look even more dropped, thereby decreasing the amount i need to actually drop it. i'll have to wait and see.
I'm not sure you've done that kind of cornering and caught it on film. At this point i was in the middle of what could be called a drift. I had managed to break traction with my re950s. Not quite as easy as it sounds on that course.Manarius wrote:Holy Body Roll, Batman!

I've taken some corners pretty fast, and I can't imagine my car rolling over that badly. Then again, I have a sedan so the center of gravity is probably lower.scottzg wrote:(insert image of sweet ass wheel here)
thats 205/50/16
Manarius- your car rolls far more than laurel's. She has fairly stiff suspension. There's nothing wrong with body roll though.
'managed to break traction' Whoa! [/keanu]
