This "droopy eye" look is just hideous at any degree, IMO.
For those of you that like it, what's the appeal? Why lower at all? Aesthetics? Surely not a performance thing...? Just curious.



I lowered for aesthetics and performance.
BTW just upgraded to the KW V3's. They are gorgeous, I hope to swap them out for the V2's this weekend hopefully.

Lowering your car properly with performance coilovers designed to be used at lower ride heights and with stiffer springs will bring about performance benefits like lower center of gravity and less body roll. Also you can achieve some negative camber by lowering the car. Lowering your car is completely different from slamming it to the ground where it is just useless and you lose all performance benefits of going lower. just my .02
