Jamie, Hella flush, or hella undriveable and essentially pretty useless?

No idea why guys do that, unless the car is on bags. The crazy front camber looks awful. I dunno about you guys, but I bought my car to be able to drive it. Not worry about every piece of gravel on the road, lol. Don't get me wrong, I like a nice drop, but it still has to be functional.

In regards to the white one, I agree. Unless it had bags, I'd be scared to drive it for fear of breaking something. I was just curious if anyone knew who it belongs to because it belongs to someone on Acurazine.

I'm as low as I think is reasonable...I don't really rub, or have any clearance issues...to some, my car isn't even low. I'm fine with that, visually...I'm very happy with how she looks.

And and from all of y'all...I may be a lot of things but...hey, wait a minute...what did you mean by that!

Anyone who thinks your car isn't low needs to put down the crack pipe. Your ride height is fantastic. My rear is the same as yours but my front is a bit higher, which I'm looking to correct in the spring. Dumping a car any lower is exactly that. Dumping. It looks cool parked, but beyond that, it's a pain in the ass for everything else. I feel modifying a car is for increasing it's potentials, whether it be handling, acceleration, braking, and yes, even aesthetics. But to increase one while compromising several others is ridiculous. Getting to the point where your damaging your car while simply driving is even dumber (scraping, etc). Forget it.

I saw there was a thread regarding "reasonable" drops. That thread was full of awesome. I can understand some minor inconveniences while driving, but that white car posted earlier was full retard.

Let's meet on a track. Let's see who's car has been modified in a positive manner . function> form.

In his defense, the quality is probably due to the fact it's off my phone. The pic online was clear, and it looks clear on the mobile site for AZ.
