Default Bay Area: Daily Driven Height

i'm considering slamming my car soon (no fender/wheel gap), but i'm afraid i'll be scraping everywhere. i mostly drive around dublin and union city/fremont.

what are you most comfortable with?

u should be ok in union city and fremont, as for 238, just be cautious and you should be able to dump your ride

well...i had my ride dumped on the other side of the bay (SF side)...and couldn't stand it sometimes...i guess it depends on how much you can handle.

DUMPED looks best, tho, in my opinion.

First off, the slammed look isn't my taste but that's a preference thing. I wouldn't do it for that.

But other than that, it would be a bitch getting around. It probably won't be too much of a problem where you live, but you gotta remember about speed bumps and other unusual things in the road. I'm dropped a couple inches on SportLines and sometimes it feels too low.

U won't be ticketed for being too low unless the cop is a real dick.

my dc5 is slammed. i live in frisco and i drive all over the bay. i guess i can just handle the harsher ride, plus its not too bad, the teins handle it very well. my suggestion is to get a setup thats adjustable so u can raise and lower it to ur preference and maybe even a setup up wuth dampening so u can **** with the stiffness of yo ride!!!
