It's the fun of it!!!!!!

The look of a Vip car only a couple inches off the ground. It looks like your car is floating down the road.

When people look at my car, start drooling and ecstatically tell me how much they love it and how it looks awesome, all the pains and hardships melt away.  It cost to be the boss ya know :shrug:

two words..... Air Suspension... :biggthumpup:

i just deal with the noises and whatnot but i guess that's the price you pay for looking good! maybe i'm just used to it since every car i've ever owned has been lowered.

It's really not that bad.

There isn't much to go wrong really, and when you're low and scrape, you just get used to it.  I drove my car last winter lower than I am now.

I'm just trying to [I]get[/I] lower, that's the hard part.

1. Scraping everwhere u go [I][COLOR=red]Nope, but my fiance does[/COLOR][/I]
2. Unable to go down basement or multi-storey carparks[I][COLOR=red] Possibly, but they are crime-havens so it sometimes safer on the street[/COLOR][/I]
3. Tires rubbing here and there most of the time [I][COLOR=#ff0000]I didnt rub at all with my setup...[/COLOR][/I]
4. Unable to carry more than 1 passenger at a time[I][COLOR=red] Even with 5 people in the car (ok, sometimes when turning right with a full car at high speed)[/COLOR][/I]
5. Parts always breaking due to riding too low [I][COLOR=red]this will happen with air as well[/COLOR][/I]
6. Bent rims from hitting potholes [I][COLOR=red]this will happen with air as well[/COLOR][/I]
7. Feel the jolt even on the tiniest road undulation [I][COLOR=red]if you want to drive low, you gotta take the bumps[/COLOR][/I]
8. Ride too harsh due to stiff spring rate [I][COLOR=#ff0000]Ok this annoys me sometimes, but my choice of air would be the same rate. Its the cost of being low[/COLOR][/I]
9. Replacement tire cost [I][COLOR=#ff0000]Have you looked at your fuel costs since you last replaced tires? Suddenly tires dont seem so expensive do they?[/COLOR][/I]

for my other car i just dont like the bottoming out, and the fact i cant ride with anyone in the back.  oh also the fear of bending rims and tire cost.  but hey it looks tight

I'm getting air suspension, but coilovers are fun. I love the stiff ride and shooting through corners.

I deal with it because, SHIT LOOKS TOO BALLER!!

Gotta pay the cost to be the BOSS!

Do you get frustrated/tired of:

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. Yes
6. Yes
7. Yes
8. Yes
9. Yes

Seeing someone's jaw drop, or seeing some kid point, smile, and say "Look at that!" makes it worth it.   Also, to be asked "What airride are you on" makes me smile with my lowly old coilovers.    Looks [i]ARE[/i] everything!

theres no point for me drivin low and stuntin everywhere. im not baller enough. i usually ride at stock height because the only time i drive is to work, and im always late so gotta get there quick. 

then i just dump it if im cruisin or if im at a meet or something.




but all of those questions can be answered with simply....
