JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted October 28, 2010 Maybe its because i am old but i just don't really understand why people want to lower their car's. IMO when the body is dragging on the ground and you can't go over the smallest of humps without scraping something or worse ripping something off. What's the attraction ??. Sorry maybe i am not getting the point. Please enlighten me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

camera doctor 25 Report post Posted October 28, 2010 Went for a walk last night, noticed the 'average' new cars passing, and was pondering, what is gonna happen in 5 - 10 years time when the only used cars available to the 'hooded fraternity' are cross-over vehicles - seems to be the only thing selling new at the moment! - how will they look lowered to the weeds :blink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BMW's the front always sits higher than the back..always look wrong to me..even before the big stance deal craze.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Is this a serious thread? More a light hearted thread as each to their own. IBTL So many pros and cons for road/race, probably a topic that will get offtrack quick I would imagine. Nothing like a driveway scrape every morning True but there are pro's/con's for anything just interested to hear people opinions Whats the point of a driveway scrape though, Unless your driveway is particularly bad i just don't see the point or practicality of having your car low enough that it would do this, Does it not stiffen your ride up so much you feel every little bump in the road ??.

I do agree that some that have a subtle drop done front end makes for a better look. I guess i am more angling at when the whole lots dropped down that i think it just looks stupid.

Mark 178 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 My car scrapes on driveways and it's not considered "low" low. I lowered mine for looks and also performance. Yes the ride is somewhat harsher, but I don't mind as it's not a daily driver. At the end of the day everyone has their own style preference and so long as your car is legally modified there's no harm in lowering it to your preferred height.

dickhead 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Simple; the lower it is, the better it looks. It's nothing new. Hence the popularity of "lowriders" etc. If you think it's just misguided youth wanting their cars to be touching the ground, you're wrong. Check out any hotrod club or whatever. IMO the car doesn't appeal whatsoever unless it has been lowered heavily Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaseNZ 53 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 Its all good. Its just interesting to her other people's view on it, As i said each to their own if its something you want then that's great. I was just saying for me I think the ones sitting on the ground be it BMW or not just seems silly but then that's just my opinion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
$toffz 0 Report post Posted October 29, 2010 My e30 vert is standard suspension, the e30 touring is lowered. Touring - when i feel like driving a car with a more tight feel and better road response. Vert - when I feel like a more relaxed drive with more comfort and give in the suspension. Just depends on how you like your daily drive I guess.

Guest Simon* Report post Posted October 29, 2010 I was just sick a little in my mouth - thanks Henry Still, better the nasty Ave camel toe to the K'rd "Elephant's nose" version Do the youngun's seriously think that cutties get them laid? The chicks only dig the attention, but they're too smart to tell the boys their ride is an ugly POS to their face When it comes to lowness, I like it to a degree but there is a point where it gets silly. Varies from model to model, and at the end of the day I prefer the function over form I guess. "Cool stance" doesn't win you any respect at the track Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
