Don't "slam" your car?

If you live in NY, forget about it, you can only lower it like 2.5'' max because there are huge potholes and a few speedbumps in parking lots. I think its impossible if you have a 3'' drop and a lip. It will scrape and possibly damabe the oil pan or muffler whenever you go into a drive way. I ride stock and i have bottomed out when entering or enternig a drive way, (And I was going extremely slow)

I rode around slammed for 4 years or so. No damage to my oilpan, but I wrecked the exhaust.

Riding dumped doesn't ride like total ****, just not smooth . Depending on what suspension setup you have will make a whole lot of difference. B&G sells coilovers that you can dump all the way and still have the same shock travel as it would have raised all the way. I think D2 MOTORSPORTS has some like that too. Besides, riding dumped looks HELLA dope .

O from my point of view up here in Oregon when people say "dumped" it means tires rubbin can't turn to far right of left and just eats tires. Mine isn't dumped but its defintley not stock but I like the way it rides. does yours ride good? How low are you?

Ah, the age-old "to lower or not to lower" debate... Should mix it up and add a "camber kits are for pussies, I'm dropped 5 inches and don't have one" debate

Eating your tires happens because of missalignment. I have been pretty low for about a year on my 4 door eg, my kumhos have perfect, even wear because I got my car aligned.

Do everybody who doesn't know this a favor and don't spread your ******* ignorance please Have a good day.

Some people like to ride like this. I do. You just have to be more careful, that's all.
