Default suspension tragedy thread..

whats the worst thing thats ever happened on your lowered car?

my altima was lowered on tokico blues, and h&r sports with 17x7's. the people at the shop that lowered my car stripped the wheel studs and didnt tell me. i was going on the off ramp of 695 to york road (really sharp and slow ramp) and my front right tire flew off...luckily, no one was behind me at the time and i just slid..right over the curb onto the grass. the company ehhem NO LIMIT INC. didnt do anything about it. instead i had my friend that owns his shop replace all four studs. the car now has its stock wheels and suspension on it.


anyone else have a bad experience? i just got h&r race and agx's for my hatch. hopefully get it on next week or so...i was j/w, will it rub like crazy around every turn with 215/50/15's?

Luckily ive never had a bad experience "suspension wise". Your story makes me happy that I always try to do the work on my car. And if i dont i take it to a shop i trust.
