Driving low.

[wheelfetish]

I was driving low for a while on coilovers. 4 threads left on the front and I took the adjusters out on the rear. I raised the front up a good bit go go up to college now. I didnt want to get fuckd 2 hours away from my house.

i **** havening a sedan and only being able to carry just one person lol oh well.

Dude, it's all good. People **** it, I love it. Saves me gas.


Whenever a group wants to go somewhere it's always "Hey, Matt has a Volvo...lets all pile in the back.....oh....wait..............it can't even get out of the driveway. NVM."


WIN WIN for me

I love it.
In the suburbs I've gotten to where I almost never scrape since GA roads are pretty nice.
In the city though you've gotta be vigilant.

I took 2 people with me today and had to park in a underground parking garage with steep ramps. Parked on 3 floor, made it to the exit fine with lots of undercarriage scraping...

Got a bit stuck on the exit, though.

My passengers had to get out so I had enough clearance to get out with lots of scraping.

I love it.

iv broken a axle and a pan so far....right now i daily it at 22 1/2

[jeremyuhh]

so i just got this low today. my fenders are rubbing like crazy, gonna do a pull tomorrow.
rears arent done, nor are those the tires and wheels i will be keeping.
my exhaust and resonator (which is an inch off the ground or less) scrapes at every speed bump, driveway, road.. if its higher than 3 inches ill scrape. already left marks in my driveway.

while i was driving i thought to myself, this is great but what about the long run?
in terms of the coilovers giving out, replacing rods, bushing, and so on... and the over all stress the car is being put under.

my car is 27 years old and its suspension isnt made for it to ride this low. my friends are giving me shit for it, my dad is giving me shit for it, almost everyone is. hahaha

i just wanna know what everyone else thinks of the future consequences to the underbody and suspension. is it really worth it in the long run? im just a college kid with average income, to let you guys know where im coming from. so i wanna know what you guys think, i guess it will give me a peace of mind and justify me rolling this low.

[Dr.AK]

To be honest, if it's a car that old and it's worth to keep it on the road, I'd rather go bags than coils to save the undercarriage of the car a bit, so you can raise it up for speedbumps and driveways and shit.

The stress on the bearings and stuff will get a bit bigger, but not all that much. I can honestly say that on the 3 cars I've owned so far (that were actually registered, that is) I haven't had any suspension part wear noticeably early because of the lowness.

dude, your car isnt even low man

when you sart hitting your front subframe on road reflectors like i am, then complain abtou stresses
im so low, my TIE ROD is hitting my unibody

[Dr.AK]

You know, you're getting on my nerves more and more with your high and mighty attitude.

[Anonymoose]

Hah word. jeremyuhh one thing you could do is go to a exaust shop and get them to raise it up for you, so cheap and you can usually gain a couple of inches. Most of it is just being patient and driving carefully Love your car by the way...more pics!!

Dude he knows what height his car is and he knows that there are cars lower. No one needs you boasting about your lows and cutting someone down, who by the way, has a sick car and is working on it

[Dr.AK]

It's not so much the fact that you're "telling the truth" as it's the fact that you come off like you're constantly trying to elevate yourself above others and make yourself look like the sun shines out of your arse.

May just be the way you write, though.

That's all I'll say on this matter, I'll keep the rest of my thoughts to myself as I don't want to start a flame war.

[FreshLikeSushi]

must be. dont mean to be a complete prick, must just come out int he way i word things.
sorry, but i mean honestly, he SHOUDLNT have a problem driving around though.

[Anonymoose]

Older cars have a more shit hanging, mostly the exhaust and are harder to get lowlow. I'm sure with some smaller tyres and a few tweaks underneath he'll be able to sit it damn low by anyone's standards
