i raised my car up from how low it used to be, to almost stock height. Still low but not slammed. I wanna go back to being slammed tho! the worst i had was at school we have these huge fat speedbumps, i literally got stuck in the middle lol 2 front tires or 2 back tires were off at same time lol had to get out of car and push it off the speedbump

Less than 2.5" off the ground, lowest part is the sideskirts

daily driven

License plate takes the brunt of everything - used to be very sharp from shaving the ground, but now it's just curved.

My civic's front mudflaps were literally a pinky from the ground. And everytime I would go over a speedbump you would hear nothing but rubber just grinding against the pavement. Especially at landsdowne, C-lais would get startled by how loud it was and give me a :seriously: face.

No matter how troublesome it is to get over speedbumps and shit, I ENJOY driving low.

Audi A4... 3" clearance from tranny pan and front LCA pivot points..

-Tranny pan likes to hit things.
-LCA pivot points hit everything!
-Slowing to idle for speedbumps is a must.
-If I see an unpaved road, 90% I won't use said road.

But my car weighs somewhere around 3500lbs.. and I corner like I'm on rails.. :troll:

Ahh yes. I have had plenty of slammed cars.

In 92 Lexus SC400, I did some 3 wheeling on a steep driveway like the pics posted. Did a burnout with the one rear wheel barely touching the ground. (Power transfers to the wheel of least resistance)

In my 00 Acura RL on 19s and Anceltion coilovers, I had to get my ex to get out of the car and walk to clear the speed bumps in my condo complex.

Always had to know which roads to avoid and sometimes park a long ways away when you can't get in the driveway.

I've never had to encounter those black speedbumps, but they look like a personal nightmare.

I can't imagine driving a supercar on our roads...I'd cringe in pain at the thought of a 200K+ car scraping...

604trueno 09-20-2011 10:54 AM

people's idea of an INCH off the grould is so variable. and by the way, shit hanging off your car doesn't make you low, it makes your lip or mudflap low. take pictures with the camera on the ground, the least flattering angle for making your car look low. Going sideways over a speedbump isn't to save your car from scraping, its to save your car from high-centering. anything but framerail means nothing to me. ok dubbers, i'll accept oilpans :p

donjalapeno 09-20-2011 12:19 PM

worst speed bumps are these....they blend in with the ground so sometimes you cant see them and at night its almost impossible to see them

but the point is lowering g37s 350zs and genesis' doesn't make them any less crappy looking than they already were. this thread disappoints

IMO lowering any car makes it look 10x better
