How do yall do it everyday? I mean, when youre driving around streets, do yall stop up traffic just to clear a bump? Or do yall even avoid some parking lots all together if you cant make it up the entrance?

Just give me a run down of how yall handle a day to day life with your ride.

 

welll by dumped...do you mean this....





i am actually a half inch lower now. my front bumper is 3.5 inches off the ground....

daily driving is fine, watch the bumps. yes you have to stop traffic for 90% of drive ways and speed bumps...but who cares when your SLAMMED

 

Yea I stop trafic all the time lol. I can't even put my RAZR cell phone underneath my front bumper or side skirts. I try to avoid speed bumps cause my side skirts rub on them. Sometime I just turn around cause i know I can't make it over a speed bump. And when going up drieways, i have to go crazy sideways to barly clear but then i have to watch if the drieway slopes down after the peak cause then my side skirts will rub so then i just pull out. I need air suspension bad!

 

I just go slow I have mine set fairly low and I avoid bumps....I have the coil overs set so low that when I hit a turn real fast I get some rub....

 

I can take the slow scrapes from driveways and whatnot but the donk sound under my ___ from big speedbumps hurts to my soul..

 

i hate speedbumps. i take them at extreme angle. also when we bottom out in between the front and rear wheels, what are we hitting?

 

im just dropped on df210's but i also have a kit, check my profile for pics....ive had it back for two days and with someone with me i stop traffic but by myself ive been just avoiding bumps and ive been lucky so far... as far as speed bumps ive been able to just slow way the hell down and not have any issues so i hope that helps..

 

Ok, big question, is it worth it? I mean, with the everyday driving, is it worth avoiding all the bumps, having to go a different route, and everything else that comes with it?

 

^^OH HELL YES!!

i stop traffic all the time, avoid going to certain places because the entrance is too steep, i have done complete 180's and gone out an entrance cause the exit was too steep and visa versa. I love being this low, I am almost 2" drop on s-techs, mine settled a little lower tan normal, and i love it

 

uhhh, s-techs arent anywhere near what im talking about as far as dumped. im on s-techs and it isnt low enough for me.

 

LOL i think he is referring to peps 3 inches or lower or have coilovers/bags. But to anser your question, i think its worth the troubles, Its all for the look of the car IMO and I hate wheel gap. You gotta make sacrifices for a look of the car.

 

^^aah, as soon as i get my coilovers, i will be that low all the time, sorry, but jersey roads suck and so do inclines here, my s-techs are 2" so i dunno

 

worth it! I have my coil overs set very low absolutly no gap between tires and wheel well...and the ride is very nice my rockers are about 5" off the ground

 

besides apperance, i'd say it's worth it.

hope people know how to drive
when running suspenion like that.

(hate these Progress coils btw.
hopefully switching to JIC/TEIN.)

 

damn thats a nice looking xb
sweet paint job

I love how the sun shines right off the scion logo

 

thanks...i never noticed that actually..i really need to get the good camera out and take some real pix..but i never have the time.

 

You get used to it. For me it's like second nature now. I'm on air and i drive as low as i possibly can. Sometimes i have rubbing up front but it's just the tires hitting the fender liners which i don't care about so eh

 

What do you hate about the Progress?


My car sits low as well. D2s cranked down with low offset Works. Its not too bad but you have to be aware of what youre driving into.

 

well I really like the progress coil overs....

 

yea i cant realy ride dumped like that over here in houston. to roads are some what crappy haha. thats why i go threw only the roads i normaly go threw. but i see what you sayin DAVID about people ridin dumped i catch myself askin the same question..
