what is the obsession in the car community about lowering your car ?
i am against it.
it just feels stupid like, more dangerous. and less serious. like some kind of stupid joke cause you are real low to the ground. i dont get it. i was just in a real low honda the other day and i was like this is just dumb.

thanks ford, raised it up higher than most territories now kek

Just ricers doing ricey things. I think it helps them switch lanes in traffic since thats important to them since they don't know where they're going. Fucking insects I swear to god.

There are so many examples throughout culture where practicality is sacrificed for style. Impracticality might even be a bonus, since then the style is rarer. So yes, the people who own these things probably know more than you how impractical it is. But it doesn't matter. It looks cool, and it's not ubiquitous. Just like women wearing high heels and dresses.
>>
>>27629869
main reason: looks cool
secondary reason: retards who think having basically no suspension makes your car handle better then wonder why any bump in the middle of a turn makes them lose traction instantly.

You posted air suspension. You can lower the car, or even raise it to be higher than factory height.

the best answer is they do it because most common cars don't have it.
haha retarded,

also a good answer.

being lower is bad. its more dangerous. the lower your car is. the more easy it is for you to die. simple as.

I used to be a stancefag. I stopped caring as much about looking cool and more about being comfortable and enjoying my drive for its own sake. I don't even want to do drop springs bc they'll compromise the ride.
It's mostly younger guys <25 who tend to do the stance thing. Adults with money go with bags lol

>what other options are there for suspension
Kind of a silly broad question, depends on your goals

Usually heavier duty shocks and springs. They help deal with the typically increased weight, and the fact that intercpetors/patrol vehicles will often be going off road and jumping curbs
>>

no way to excuse it, it cant be explained, it just is what it is.
you can just speed by them blowing their oil pans out on speed bumps.
most of the actually fast cars they want to look like was infact rally cars and they where slighty lifted...

Yesterday I saw a truck that I thought was a victim of wheel theft. It was so low to the ground it honestly looked like it was just resting on its axles and the bodywork was about 1cm from the ground.

Why the fug would you do this to a truck?

One of the most annoying things about 4chan is that everything has to be extreme. Like literally everything has to be 0 or 100. Do you know there's such a thing as middle ground? Did you know you can lower your car without laying frame and tucking cambered wheels with stretched tires?

thinkin bout possibly cutting the front coils, no idea why it sits so high in the front, it looks almost like a roller but it has a bigass cast iron inline 6 and like 160lbs of 1/4 wall push bar

I hate it. It's impractical (inb4 skill issue, you're going to scrape) and it looks stupid honestly. I hate how it makes the wheels in the wheel well look offset as well.
>>27630145
I mean what are your goals? There's plenty of shock / spring combos that can make the ride more stable without too harsh a tradeoff in bumps. But if you just want comfortable stick to OEM.

People who insist stock cars look better are jealous poorfags who either can't afford modifications or bought unpopular cars ignored by the aftermarket. It's cope. Plain and simple. No one with an IQ over 80 would look at a car like this and honestly believe the suspension looks "like it's broken" because it doesn't have 4 inches of wheel gap. It's common knowledge that the highest level of performance cars all have low clearance because it lowers the center of gravity and the stiffer suspension doesn't need to travel as much and it gives air less space to flow underneath the car which reduces lift at higher speeds. These are objectively true facts. Preferring lanky tall ass cars means you prefer having a higher cog and less stability in corners and at high speeds. This is why no one can honestly prefer it.
>>
>>27630249

It's a lowbrow trend for low iq people, appeals to the lowest common denominator. Lowering your car is like the pop music of car mods. It's cheap and everywhere and most of it is tasteless, sucks, and appeals only to people with low aspirations. Always has been. A small degree of lowering is often decent for handling but people take it to such an extreme that it completely ruins handling.

Slammed is really tucking the tires up into the wheel wells of a vehicle. Lowered is less heinous and still keeps some of the usability of the vehicle. Although bags just get raised when you are driving so I guess it really doesn’t affect it too much.

How do you know it isn’t bagged? Very well could have air suspension. Hell some old Mercedes have air struts with bags for ride height and comfort. Slammed/bagged has to do with that retarded tucked up look most of the time. Depends on the build and such, usually bagged/slammed are more extreme but I’m not gonna sit here and say 1 inch clearance is bagged an 1.2 is lowered.

Performative performance.
NPCs see that performance cars are lowered compared to trucks or land yachts and naively assume that lowering a car further will equal even more performance, not understanding that the suspension is a vital part of performance and that it needs room to cycle.
They'll do the same with wings with no airfoil, random spoilers, and loud intakes and exhausts.

slamming, not lowering, is aesthetic thing most people do it because something about a ground hugging car just looks cool for some reason.
Lowering is a performance thing, I put 30% stiffer .75 inch lower springs on when I changed the worn out shocks and struts with BSR DS' and modified the toe and camber plates. Car handles like a dream on the pilot 4 AS that went with the whole kit.

Slamming, lowering, knowing the diff can save your life if youre in one of those shitty street takeovers.

>grey area
Bullshit and you know it.
Slamming is to drop a car as much as possible and reduce wheel gap as much as possible to the detriment of perf and regular drivability.
Proper lowering is a fine tuned adjustment that gives the vehicle decent normal drivability and considerably better performance.
My car still has ~4.5 inch of clearance and can fit 245x45s on 18x8.5s without issue or any further fitment modification.
A slammed car just fucks it all up for the sake of ground hugging and minimal wheel gap.

But you know that and are just being an asshole.

Right that's why I dropped almost 3 seconds of lap time at my local track after doing suspension work.
You're a retarded autistic, so this probably doesn't make sense to you,
But gaining 2.5 MPH in slow corners and almost 4 MPH overall in average lap speed is a SIGNIFICANT increase, from stuff you say is "not a mod"
>>
>>27630703
you dont post anything but dogshit you flaming cunt

I find it strange that a thread about lowered suspension is hit with nearly the same amount of retarded forced irritating troll bullshit as a political thread
>muh lane switching rycerrr
its like they want to make it as unusable as possible wherever you are

just kill yourself loser

For a ~60mile commute I'm doing about avg 50mpg with AC and 57mpg without AC before, after I'm doing about +2-3 to those avgs.

Im using eibach lowering springs.

lmaoing at all the stancelet ricelet gaplet, tool less faggots in this thread

That's an interesting improvement.
Cars with "dirty" underbodies generally get significantly better aero drag when lowered, but cars with cleaner/more flat underbodies get worse. This is because a smooth floor vehicle already has low drag and a high "ground effect", so lowering such a car increases the ground effect and thus the drag. Conversely, a vehicle without a smooth floor has "bad" aero and lowering it reduces the turbulent wake hitting amd being swirled around by non smooth parts.

Basically your mirage has practically no aero underbody treatment, compared to say a modern mustang gt which should see a little worse MPGs with a lowering. This is totally normal im not shit talking, just pointing out that lowering achieves a similar effect as flat-plating the umderbody, and an already flat underbody doesnt aerodynamically improve from lowering.

My tools are a fucking mess i did my front brakes and rotors today, dont even have an 18mm socket so I had to remove kinda stuck caliper bracket bolts with a fucking 6 inch wrench. That sucked but my brakes are good now, OG rotors at almost 140k miles would grind at high speed hard braking and shudder a bit if trying to creep slowly.

I dont have an impact, or air tools, or fancy caliper contractors just a basic c clamp. I dont have spring compressors. I am missing some socket and wrench sizes. Way too many copies of cheap socket sets 4 to 16mm in size etc.

Thankfully i do have a rubber mallet, the front driver rotor was a bit rust locked on the wheel threads and needed a bit of tap tapping to coerce.
And thank god for PB blaster or i couldve never got the 18mms off with that small wrench amd would have totally rounded the worn out 14mm bolt on the passenger side upper caliper slide pin/bolt.

Anyways you were saying about tools?

>>27629869
looks better
slightly improves handling and stability
https://youtu.be/7Yut08_IzHk
plan on slightly lowering my alfa once I make it roadworthy
>>
>>27631004
>post tools
don't ever try to be like me you brainlet ricer. It's impossible. You're at the bottom, I'm at the top. You're a lane switching nigger and I'm the pillar of civilization, trendsetter of /o/.

seems to me like there are two main camps. Lowering for performance, or lowering for cosmetic reasons. I lowered for improved handling.
>>
>>27630249
Honestly the car needs a 3' lift just to be able to clear everyday bumps and shit
>>
>>27630297
It only makes sense on the race track. IRL roads are shitty
>>
>>27630178
It isnt high, the wheel arch is just higher up to facilitate steering, look closely at that body line and how it relates to the arches.

Would be sick with some real crazy rake though
>>
>>27629869
Lowered cars handle better, obviously. The issue is a street is not a NASCAR track - potholes and speed bumps can easily tear up the exhaust or oil pan, if you aren't careful. Then you've gotta add heavy duty springs, to compensate and that destroys your handling, anyway.
>>
>>27630346
NTA but I do sit behind trucks if I am driving long distance so long as they aren't slow as fuck and I'm not trying to have fun with the act of driving. Very relaxing way of getting from A to B.
>>
I like to think of that as a triumph of US infrastructure services
even people as manic, obnoxious and retarded as >>27630319 are afforded the capability of driving their sad crippled car and not get stuck on every second parking lot entrance
makes me proud to have stolen a job from an american
>>
>>27630167
Spics love it for some reason
>>
>>27630167
It's a Mexican thing, I don't know why they do it. Maybe so people can't steal their wheels because a jack won't fit?
>>
>>27630169
If you only lowered it a little nobody would know you had lowered it, which is the whole point.
>>
>>27630249
The wheel should be concentric with the wheel well. Top looks about right, bottom looks like jorge needs new springs.

There's degrees of lowering. Slammed/bagged is extremely lowered, for spic looks with total disregard for performance.
>>
>>27630249
before looks better
>>
>>27630436
>obviously it doesnt you faggot plebbitor
It looks retarded because it is retarded, and you are retarded for thinking otherwise.

It's observable reality, anon.

There is a HUGE difference between lowering, and slamming, of which the vast majority of this board(i.e. busriders) know nothing about.
