[prime]

Wow geez how did that happen? Doesn't look like it's from rubbing. More like something hit it...

[tmpz]

Huge pot hole?

[aris]

No wonder... That car is way to low

[The Wolf]

Mmm... Its still pretty cool.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Turn + bump = that, and this:

This is why I don't want to removed the lock collars from my front coils in the event I need to make adjustments based on a new wheel and tire setup.

Kevin has no adjustment in his setup anymore.

[bluemazda3]

[FoXy]

[philipfreire]

wow. ouch. like i said many many times. It's a hot look but when it comes down to function. Its so not worth it with the streets of toronto.

Cars look amazing with the drop but as a daily driver, your going to be worried everytime you drive in the streets of the GTA.

+1 as long as you take it easy being this low isn't that bad. But yeah dodging potholes definitely isn't amusing haha, sacrifices must be made though

[Nooby31]

Dug up from the grave!

I agree though, it looks kool and I wish I had it at times but just can't justify it for more then a day....

[silverstarmazda]

[loki]

Can auto magicians fix that?

They are magicians. Worst case scenario your car gets sawed in half.

Then I'll have two cars to mod. Damn.

"stance is more important then my fenders"

[Slade]

No wonder... That car is way to low

And its not even hellaflush lol.

This is another good example of resale on a car, look at Kappa, because he was so low and dragged no one would by his car once they saw it on the lift...

[peterm15]

I have the feeling this is gonna happen to me soon enough.

I can't turn my wheel all the way or I'm rubbing on something. And I'm not even that low.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/04/01/qymu2a6a.jpg

This is my rear and my front is slightly higher. Still has tuck though.

( don't wanna post a full pic of my car as its filthy. )

Im looking for the problem this week. Any LOW guys here wanna give me a hand?

[rajin929]

fenders' nothing...it's the oil pan, subframe, rad supports etc you need to worry about.

don't forget, take some metal wire and wrap around all the exhaust mounts....at least that way when you bottom out and the rubber mounts break, your exhaust won't be dragging on the highway....

So far only minor bottoming. It's a fender/wheel well problem I think.

Fenders are already rolled. I'm just glad I didn't end up getting spacers.

I've also been looking into adding an oil pressure monitor with a signal.

[rajin929]

oh, was just sayin' in general

[peterm15]

oh, was just sayin' in general

I figured. Good pointers in general though.

[Brockcharlton]

its better to be low, you'r more aware cuz you gotta dodge the potholes. :thumbsup

[peterm15]

I agree with this.

Ever since I lowered my car I find I watch my speed a lot more. Just generally more careful.

It could be I'm just getting older.

[Rob23]

wouldn't having to pay attention to all the potholes make you less aware? lol

[schmat66]

yes when i drive my moms car, stock tsx i dont even pay attention to whats on the road i just drive and become more how should i say bored and tend to get distracted alot easier

when im in my car or my girls car im always alert looking ahead on the road planning etc

[Rob23]

distracted by potholes lol

Im only kidding, sort of.

[CelestSpeed3]

I'm running 17x9 paired with 255's and 20mm spacers in he rear and 25mm spacers in the front. I'll be dropped on coils this season too. So lets see what happens.

Hella flunctional ?

[Brockcharlton]

regardless, if you actually want to be slammed, you tend to not care about anything else, because they all become the sacrifices of being dumped. imo

I would hate to see you driving your dads truck hahaha

[silverstarmazda]

isnt being slammed and low coming from race cars? so technically its rice with benefits LOL. im on sportlines and i got mild problems. plan on running 5mm spacers in the back to flush things out a bit.

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Personally I always loved how low DTM cars were (90s) but my love for low really comes from minitrucks

[schmat66]

problem is...magnesium has the unfortunate ability to catch on fire and burn insanely hot LOL, then were dealing with a class D fire which isnt fun.
