Default Re: best route for shocks???

almost any coilover set can slam it almost to the ground. That sounds like a horrible idea though and not very practical lol.

Yes. We all love poor tire wear, riding on bumpstops, damaging under control arms, ball joints, wheel bearings, and getting poorer gas mileage because riding dumped is totally worth it.

You are better off with bags if being the most "slammed" is how you judge a car's suspension.

The kind of people it would attract alone would drive me insane....getting comments like "**** is dope vip" would make me crash it into something...or sell it to buy a new ek with tons of parts Get a real car.

What's funny is about half the non-picture posts in there talk about the problems they have with tire wear and other damage suspension components.

The other half look like this:

"Ooohhh siccccc ur car is hella flush y0"

I'm afraid it's still around and has been around the whole last decade. Type in "hella" in Google and "hellaflush" is the second suggestion. Click on "hellaflush" and this is the first hit on the list:

*edit* and another blog's perspective on why it's "helladumb" http://www.drivendaily.org/road/helladumb/

I feel like I just got punched in the face. I wasn't actually aware that this is considered a "movement."

*Searches for "puke" smilie, none to be found.
