i wasn't surprised when i saw that 240.. all 240's are capable of being slammed to the ground. our car is a bit different for us.. we gotta play with alot of different tire size/offset in order to be slammed!

240's are easy to slam boost drift etc. thats why theyre such a good car! but the complication of the tl is what makes it more fun and uhh artful!

^ Agree. Plus it has full aero so it looks lower than it really is.

lolol true that. I usually park on the other side of my house which is all parallel parking, this just happened to be available and she happened to be parked next to me. in my haste to get my camera and snap a pic, I kinda palmed it into the spot and took the shot.

It didn't help that she's a masshole and can't park straight (or drive...)

I had an SR swap in it but it blew up on me. So I just threw in a KA for this years drift season. In thought of what to do this winter LS1 perhaps or just boost the KA.

i'm running pretty stiff preloads and i always hit my upper control arm and i'm not as low as you are... is your rear higher than your front? what's the measurements from fender to ground on your front and rear?

nah man.. i can tell by eye that youre lower than me LOL. this may be embarrassing.. but only a few know that all sides of my car are at different heights.. preloads were set differently and no ruler in hand at the time.. so i gotta fix that problem and redo everything again.
