Regardless of what it is, it is definitely for show only. That car that low is gonna handle rather poorly.

It's also an easy way to blow a shock. The shock travel on an EP3 is very short to begin with, and it's a constant source of trouble as the cars get older.

The guy is on EPHatch.com. He's buddies with Jim down here in San Diego. I haven't heard about any suspension problems from him. I've had my EH full dumped on some Teins for over a year and never had any problems. It depends on the set up really. It's a clean car though

yeah it is a clean car , and like earthworm jim said it really does depend on the susp setup you have espially the shocks you have, it does look like thats a GC setup, also hes able to be that low bc hes got 15's but that car prolly doesnt handle as well as it prolly could

that's a lot of expensive, imported bodywork sitting REALLY close to the pavement.
