Exclamation Sittin Low is Beautiful But a Pain, NO?

Ayo wassup fellas

Man i haven't been on here for a while. I see everyones car dropped and it reminds me of when i had her dropped. I love the look, when i had her dropped Ferrari's and Porches all reved and broke neck. They were driving 100,000 dollar car and they breaking neck for a car thats only 10,000 ( when i bought it 3 years ago).

So my question is for those guys that has had there car dropped for a while. Doesn't the car give way after riding so low? Don't you find your self replacing more tires and suspension parts?

Check my specs, the only difference i see from others is that im running Neuspeeds springs. It gave me ultra low. Maybe I should of went with Eibach, huh?

Lettme know cause im thinking of lowering her after i finish with the paint and body. Im giving her a well deserved make over.

where can i get some headlights for cheap?

Gonna raise the flag on that one. I never get second looks around my town. Only in more ghetto areas where they have fewer nice cars.

Mistress is a sleeper, and she still gets looks. Not sure about Ferrari, but a lot of people look at her twice. She knows she's a hottie... no big deal.

I always get second looks but to answer your question I've always had my cars dropped and if you get a camber kit that should solve your tire problems..Camber kit + proper alignment = good tires..

i get second looks all the time..maybe they're just giving me the" WTF YOU LOOKING AT FACE" yea that must be it... as long as you lower your car the "RIGHT" way then everything should be fine...if you get lowering springs you'll need shocks/struts and most definately a camber kit b/c alotta time your camber will be off little or alot it'll eat your tires from the inside..eventually.

yeah man I live in Miami Beach where all the Ballers are. But back to my question so you guys never have to replace your Shocks? In the beginning the car was riding really smooth then it just started going bad.

First I had the car in the mechanic for some clanking noise that the car made in the front whenever i went over a bump, which turned out to be the control arm bushing going bad. I should of used coil overs huh? I was using Neuspeed which gave a 2.5 drop.

Yeah man I've been a Member of Acura-CL for a while. This is the place to be for all your info about your car.

Headlights, how much?

steve, your ride is hot.

I sometimes get looks, but usually its from ricers that seem to be mugging. Ive noticed that it'll get 3x more looks when I have a chick in my passenger seat. Just the other day I was behind this stock white cl and driven by this asian dude. he kept looking in this sideview at my car and was swerving and almost his a car
