Because you affected the geometry of the suspension, you WILL put too much stress on the CV axles, thats why slammed Hondas go through axles. properly, you want to get the axles cut to fit, otherwise they are overstressed, even at standing height of the slammed vehicle

roll the edge of the fender in. Theres like a lip if u look from underneath. Roll that. I think ur car sits way too low. When tires go behind the fender, thats when u know its too low. To each their own. Better looking car than mine, so props!

I have heard this before but always wondered, how low can you go without causing any of those issues. I mean that car above is slammed, but will a 1-3" drop cause those kinds of problems as well? Is there a cutoff or is it the type of thing that just depends on the situation and other factors?

I'm pretty sure the car above doesn't get driven daily, its a show ***** that only gets driven once a week on even roads. Please don't "dump" your car if it's going to be DD, you sacrifice handling and ride comfort.

the hood is to help the engine bay disperse heat, many road race cars do that

If you look close, he has Falken Azenis, there is no way he drives that car like that... When I had those, they rubbed like crazy and that was at least an inch an a half higher than that

I can't believe that only one other guy thinks this looks chopped!!! This looks totally photoshopped! That's too low to be functional in the real world...

yeah i really doubt he drives it that low...if it isnt photoshopped but i believe the hood thing works i thought about trying it and seeing logging it to see if there was any difference in intake temps or ects or anything
