which one is "lower"?

 

the 2nd one

 

yes the red thing has more "clearance" but it's "lower"..
its a more aggressive drop.

when u "LOWER" a car, u gauge it by how many inches you drop correct? does a lowering spring set or coilover ever measure by ground clearance??

i think ob's xb's is pretty bad rocking kenstyle w/ wheels..
but the thing is, his attitude is all jacked..

 

 

ugly cars Joey...
you could have at least chosen some good ones...lol

 

still neons

 

not neons any other car would have been better than neons...

 

 

i thought dodge neons were too funny to pass up.
i always pass by this one silver on in monterey park..
its stock height.. except it has some front bumper
bodykit facsia thing.. OMG, i think it scrapes at stock height.
lol.. ill snag a picture and post it..

 

my 2 cents: The apex of fender to center of wheel would the true measurment of drop. This would eliminate the difference in tire height. It's just kinda hard to measure it accurately.

 

^^HMM.. i guees measure from the apex to the center of the wheel....plus a pic won't hurt either....

 

If you want to do it the way they do in truck shows you have two options. One is to the window sill on the door. (Guys with body drops and sections usually win these.) Or you can measure to the top of the roof. (Chop tops can beat all even if they aren't actually lowest this way.)

Another way to measure is through the legal definition in California. It is the lowest metal part of a vehicle. Plastic doesn't count. CHP even has special tools they make that measure your sidewall and then slide under your car to see if it hits anything. This is how they check to make sure you have legal clearance.

 

what is ground clearance? my xB doesnt have any.

 

 

You know I almost mentioned your xB Randode, but I figured guys in this thread would just start whining about it not being on coil-overs.

 

whine? the thread says lowest xb on COILOVERS

 

See?

 

 

 

too much guys... ha ha ha randode can post wherever he wants... kinda like a godfather of scions... the neons are too much. just so this thread doesnt get locked, there is a "laugh at rice" thread started... post the pics in there and put up a quick link to the forum.

pretty soon youll see a new xB on D2's... just sold my set to tomwanachat in Hawaii...
