If youre going anywhere near that low, be prepared to spend alot of money on bumper repair and get ready to worry about bottoming out...over a speed bump.

If you can't afford to do something properly to your car don't do it. I am suggesting your budget and desired outcome are mutually exclusive.

That red car is bagged... Front wheels couldn't turn, and I'm betting it's actually making contact with the ground.


In other words, no, you're not going to do that cheaply, ever.

I like this idea as you then have both function* and form.















*As an over-sized paperweight.

lol. It took me a moment to work out what I think you meant.
I think you are saying the coils would make good table legs. I am saying the car would make a good paper weight.
This is a good scenario because you can use my paper weight on your sprung table.

We need a slammed subforum. Not that I care what happens to people's cars but it's misleading to put this in the suspension forum when the car looks to be sitting on the ground.

oh, btw OP how often are you willing to spend several hundred bucks on tires? because with the amount of uneven wear you would get from anything close to that set up is unrealistic.

Rename this subforum to 'Handling' or the like and shift the 'I want to be hectic low' threads to exterior modifications sub forum. There's a bunch of threads in the track day forum which would be better in a 'handling' forum as well. Everyone wins, people that care about handling don't have this sub forum clogged up and people that want advice on suspension mods for appearance reasons don't have their threads full of 'you're doing it wrong' posts.
