Here's my old Civic from 2007 that would scrape anything on the road. Car would actually throw out sparks with the crowns on Lougheed Highway and Kingsway for example. The car could actually go lower by about one more inch but then I wouldn't be able to get around town. It was a rolling VI and when that came, it went back to stock and it got sold. Looking back, this was my first attempt at the "stance game" and I must say, not too shabby of an attempt. :)

My old 240. Front lip was about 10-15mm off the ground. Used to scrape on everything. Smashed an oilpan drifting then linked the entire track at Redline before realizing that I had no oil pressure, ripped the swaybar off, bumper, lip... Everything. Miss it.

haha MidnightKouki I saw you at Langara yesterday! Looks so sick man

In my opinion some of the ultra-slammed, super-tire-stretch, tucked wheel cars look rediculous.

With adjustable coil-overs, is it practical to raise/lower your car for snow every winter? I know that each will require an alignment but if you just need it for a few weeks of snow I don't think the tires will wear out that quick.

Thanks man! Let's see some pics of yours!

depends how high you raise it really. if it's a small change, i wouldn't worry too much about it. if it's a drastic height difference i'd do an alignment. there are places out there that do alignments for an affordable price. you just need to call around and ask.

I posted on the first page


Meanwhile...

^ But S300ae, your car isn't low. :-/

kgatz got sonned the fuck out lol

Exhaust at the downpipe was only about 1" off the ground. Scraped on flat all the time, actually continuously almost. The problem with these cars is that the frame is basically even with the rockers (the sides are lowest) so even though it's low it doesn't "look" slammed.

Then I smartened up

16s brah. 16s.

Vancouver sure is interesting for lowered cars... Lots of road construction going on lately which is not cool... I scrape lots. I have now scraped through the resonator in my exhaust and need a new one fitted.

I'm sure I'm getting close to having to replace my resonator

is anyone else hitting this wide ass patch of cut out road with a shitty repave job so its like 1-2 inches lower than the surrounding road, its on HW1 west bound somewhere between 1-2km after Gallardi exit?!?! its this section that is cut horizontally across all 3 lanes and there's no way to avoid it every time I cross that patch I hit something, and I hear a huge bang and I have no idea what it is cuz my car isn't that low. west bound has the same cut out patch but its been repaved and its much flatter (at least i don't hit anything) is it possible to complain to the city about something like this?

I've hit that patch once. End result was bent tie rods on my car. lol

i actually LOLed ... no finger gap to shreddies box gap

thanks for the laugh . i needed to wake up :)

old DD..lived in richmond never scraped, only VI'ed once if you know what you are doing.
