Tips for driving while lowww. (compile them here)

[Pswirley]

Pick a fucking side and lean to it while driving.

Only keep one hand on the steering wheel.


Chicks dig this kind of shit.

I don't know about you guys, but I stopped giving a fuck and drive my car like its stock height. MOST speedbumps I just go over without going at an angle, it scrapes regardless. Angled or not. Drive ways however always require going in at an angle most of the time.

I'm at the don't give a fuck stage, I don't avoid bumps or anything really. I do still hit em at an angle though, don't wanna take my bumper off.

Incase you get to a spot that you must raise the car (ie CO's).

If I get to a place and I have to raise my car, I no longer consider it a destination and move on ... no place is important enough for me to be taking wheels off on the side of the road and adjusting the coilovers.

My spanner wrenches live in my room ... probably wont ever again be used unless I decide to go lower (might be an option once I get some skinnier tires as I haven't, in the 1000 miles, hit anything with 2.5 inches of frame clearance).

If sparks aren't flying you aren't low enough

I believe it's "if sparks don't fly your too high"

Always give yourself enough space between your car and the car ahead of you so you can see oncoming obstacles before it's too late.

that's a good one, i figured that out the hard way.

I've also managed to memorize the locations of obstacles on roads that i travel on often, so i already know what to avoid and slow down for.

I slow down on roads that i dont know.

Oh and oscillating bumps can be dangerous, you build up enough momentum and you can bottom out, happened in Orlando on a bridge, luckily i didn't break anything.

Well my CO's are different, I can just jack it up and adjust the height, I had to do that when taking to my car to my wifes apartment....fuck speedbumps!

When I busted my oilpan on the E30 M3 SE I had, another member of the local BMW club drove over the same rock with his standard E30 M3. He had a real smug look on his face.
But I just thought; "You may not be standing at the side of the road in a pool of your cars vital fluids, but atleast I roll hard!"

When you go slam'd colateral damage is part of the game, try your best not to damage your car, but in the end rolling hard comes with as many cons as pros.
So when the damage is done, you can atleast revel in the fact that you look cooler than the non-stanced when your up and running. I'd rather have my car get some scrape and bumps than have arch clearance.

Pay extreme attention to what is in the road and what may be in the road (debri, bumps, etc.) Especially when you're at the point where even a 2x4 could cause potential damage. Also try to memorize road hazards on frequently traveled roads (such as dips, pot holes, rutting, etc.)

I needed a good laugh.


Anyhow, this is a great thread, keep it up.

Dont drive an e30....Srsly between the m42 oil pan being so damnned low and the m20 pan being such a bitch to change, its takes a special kind of person (read: lunatic) to WANT to drive those things low.

I drive leaned as far forward as possible when navigating unknown roads. it helps me see the road surface better.

At night and in the rain you pretty much have to know the roads and or cross your fingers and hope for the best.
