anyone else think their car needs lowered?

I saw a lowered 987 after a recent Mavs game I was at. It was astonishing! I cannot believe how cool it looked. Until then, I was never really a fan of lowering, but it made me want to lower my car. It was so smooth and subtle. I really wish I had a picture of that.

Post a clear side view shot of your car and I'll lower it for you in Photoshop so you can see what it'd look like.

I have a 97, I want mine done soon.

id like to do mine, but since its daily and gets driven in winter...it already scrapes everywhere

in general, most cars look better lowered

Damn son, you gotta get yo'self dems air ride suspension. You can be driving with one wheel in the air and bounce around and thatd be da illest stuff ever. You could let it be high for curbs N stuff, and drag it fo da ladies.

air rie suspension is great actually

Thanks. I'll post a side pic tomorrow when I get to school w/ my camera.



I DO NOT want to compromise performance. That wouldn't be worth it to me


Does lowering compromise performance or does it depend? What does it depend on?

I think it always improves it... unless you live in an area of poor road construction quality, then it might be a nightmare driving around town.

On smooth pavement you will noticed enhanced performance. On ****************ty, potholed riddled NYC roads, you will notice enhanced Kidney pains

The lower the car, the less suspension travel (typically) to absorb impacts. Also, since the travel is often shorter, the compromise is to run stiffer springs to prevent bottoming out. Thus, a stiffer ride.

On the plus side you will notice even sharper handling and roadholding due to a lowering of the vehicles center of gravity.

Everything has a trade off. What do you want to live with?
