sick and tired of being lowered already |

Rant.
I'm sick and tired of having to stop and think about where I'm driving. Lowered cars are completely impractical. I miss the micra. You could lower it 30mm and it would still glide over most things. Golf has too much front bumper. Slowly but surely I seem to be rubbing all of it away on the ground. Grrrrrr |

Ill swap you my micra for it then lol. I always find it funny watching the lowered cars trying to creep over the speed humps in car parks.

yeh... if i was ever arsed to sit down and put stock springs back in i probs would... i dont find that mine scrapes at all tho. just being stiff and launching off speedhumps as if i was going 145891578kmph when realy im doing 20 sucks...
also nsw roads are SO shit, forever dodging potholes. most of the routes i regularly drive i could tell you the smooth lines before i got to them haha thats the extent to which i have to concentrate on doging!! |

Bahaha.. I saw a white Mk5 GTI outside the office today and it scraped it's nose very slightly on the driveway.. I chuckled and thought of you tom :P Much <3!
You can slam an LX/SLX to the ground and not have issues.. Super-S bar sits a bit lower I think but not enough to scrape it on pretty much anything. That said when I had the lip on my LX it was a bit of a pain as you did have to go over everything sideways if it was even mildly steep. You know you want to come back to the right side though ;) ---dens |
