I think I am still too high...What y'all I think?
yes...too high.
Many of you who slam your cars must not actually drive them much. I got tired of destroying expensive stuff under my 8G and raised it up with some fat tires (stock 3KGT VR-4 size).
That ride height is great... exactly how my Evo sits and I love it. It's whatever you want... I enjoy a car I can actually drive as opposed to being worried about it scraping all the time. I've done both, practicality is better.

Yea I agree, I'm on eibachs(like the mildest setup) and I daily my car.My ride is ruff,I've scraped and rubbed with my setup I can't imagine with Teins or any other setupQuote:

I like being slammed. But then again, I do have a crossover for a daily. lol
Talking about practicality and driving a 500hp car are two totally different ideas. You don't drive a 500hp car for practicality.Quote:

Except... your car isn't slammed.
Once again, you fail at being relevant. I enjoy not ripping off my intercooler every time I go to the car wash (yeah, it's happened), among other things ripping off.Quote:

All of you need to start a goddamn "Post a pic as your car sits now discussion" thread.
LESS TALKING, MORE PICS!
Yesterday was the local MN club's dyno day. In the pics you will see my car, an Omni (which put down 112hp on a very stingy dyno), my buddy Mark's Mirage-Evo III conversion, a Viper, some Subis and a few DSMs.

Wasn't talking to you... hence the latter quote.Quote:

It doesnt look slammed cuz of the 15's. If I set the ride height as low as it is now when I had the 17's those 17's would be in the fender. and the car would probably be a little higher than it is.
Overall wheel/tire diameter does not, or at least should not change, when you up wheel size. Why does everybody think otherwise?
I want to see more pics! damn it. The weather is so much nicer. Lets get some DSLR car pics.

with more rubber your car sits lower as the rubber sags. low profile tires are stiffer and don't sag. when i had my steelies on i wouldn't clear alot of stuff i can with my 17'sQuote:

What tires do under static load probably can't even be noticed with the human eye, unless they're under inflated. Lower profile tires may or may not have stiffer sidewalls. If they do, that only translates to increased stability when the car is moving. It doesn't mean the tire squishes less when the car is just sitting there.Quote:

Finally got all my stuff back together for the season and added some new styling...It'll be fun for the next month or so before Im back outta the country!

Winter wasn't so great. Got a small wrap around scrape on the left side of the bumper, and a pushed in corner on the right side. Popped it out, but that plastic/paint is officially warped. Owell, it'll just have to wait for a paint job.
Jon, you better lock that bitch up while you're in Brazil.
Cuz I will jack it if you don't.
lol jk bro.
Car looks fuckin' awesome.

Car looks great, Jon! Where did you get your diffuser from? How is the fitment?
Back on topic....Quote:

sexy, what HID are those?
More pictures, less talk. Nuff said.
