Default Being low is an addiction

I swear to god, being low is an addiction. I'm already pretty low (hotchkis with an RS1 front lip) but I wanna go even lower. I came home from FL and barely cleared the driveway. But I LOVE IT! lol. I wish my car could look like this all the time.



I'm hoping to be a little bit lower with the Tokicos and Tanabe's I just got.
anyone else addicted.

I'm as low as the streets here will allow. I already have to go around the block to get to work, because I can't angle the driveway enough to get in the other way.

I scrape my exhaust parking next to my garage. Two pieces of wood to drive on before I can get a jack under there.

^^Lolll.

I know I went to my buddies house to change my oil. and his buddy comes out with the jack and my friends like. "uhhhh he's pretty low". and his buddy with the jack goes "It's fine I got this". Soon as he gets to my car he goes "Oh... That Low... Were gonna need the 2x4s" Had to drive up on 3 2x4s to fit the jack under my car.

hmm...I don't think you know the definition of low until your slammed on some coilovers with removed perch rings and a lip kit. when you can't fit your foot under your car any more...that makes you low =]

Not so much, the defination of low is when you cant turn the wheels of your car or they will hit the fenders (had air with 20s and had to take a hammer to the firewall so that it didnt rub the tires)

I just take SUPER wide turns, & turn my 2 point turns into 4 point turns, lol.

I don't think I said "turns" enough in that sentence.

I dunno...air to me is cheating because if you REALLY need to, you can always go 4x4 status...with Coilovers, you are forced to run dumped everywhere, regardless of the road conditions

I'm not a cheater.

Cheating for the win!!! I love how we get accused of cheating when we pay twice as much for the AirRunner. No offense meant but I think it's more about maybe not being able to afford it maybe or just not a priority??? Or if you like the sport tuning thing than Coils and springs are you you. But AirRunner is high end top notch VIP period.

But be my guest. Beat the hell out of that rare CF lip you have there with a set up you can't change with the press of a button. By all means

Man, u don't say. This is me trying to get to my garage in reverse, as u can see I can't. The only way is to park perpendicular to it, turn my tires all the way and drive sideways on the driveway until I can clear the lip.
