you know you want to go lower :D

In my lowered s14 a few years ago on highway 1 by Abbotsford. Traffic is backed up for ages thanks to construction or an accident or some bullshit. Semitruck behind me has crept up too close and then forgets I'm there and smashes into me after we'd both been stopped for about 5 minutes.

:seriously:

Sigh. Next vehicles were all lifted jeeps and trucks (now I just drive off the side of the highway and onto the frontage road - great success).

Turns out that slamming on your brakes and pulling the handbrake does approximately fuck all when you're being pushed towards the SUV infront of you by an 80,000 pound truck. I still remember the surprised/horrified look of the lady in the passenger seat of the Dakota that was next to me.

RC will run at whatever height gives primo handling, GT-S stays where it is cause it's a DD and already slides around on it's belly in the snow sometimes :heckno:

The higher one looks much better IMO. When cars get low to the point of where it looks like functionality or performance is being lost, it looks bad. all cars have different limits. As said before when the wheels really start getting pushed into the fender it looks ridiculous.

-EuroRSN- 10-06-2011 07:54 PM

ya it looks HELLA FLUSH :troll:

My car has approx 4 inches of clearance, I don't scrape on speed bumps and/or look like an idiot when pulling into parking lots. My car also handles and performs properly (how Nissan designed it).

lol
