Lower ride height in NYC? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

We have some of the worst roads in the country, so will you guys be droppin it or staying stock?

I'll be stayin stock most likely, it will just make it easier to get places without worrying.

I was thinking about this =/, I don't encounter many pot holes on my drives but I do run into the occasional one. Might be motivated to keep it stock as much as I don't want to.

Stock all the way, I would never lower this car for Manhattan roads.

I was thinking the same, I really appreciate the ground clearance on any car when on the FDR.

Our roads are crap and everywhere I go they are constructing new roads which takes a very very long time to get finished. I would be so paranoid everywhere I go.

The roads in NJ/NY are just too inconsistent. Some of the major highways like 78 or 287 are virtually pot-hole free but once you stray off the highway you have no idea what you're heading for. I would love to lower this car but since it might be my DD, I'm going to leave it stock.

I'll drop mine slightly. I don't drive in the city itself that often anyway so it isn't going to be too bad.
