Low as in drop or low to the ground? Here are some members that had pretty low drops at one time. I'm not sure if they've raised the car since then.

It's OK, he's got a body kit since that photo was taken , so now he's almost 2" lower.

Precisely the exact reason why I raised my car after that picture. I am sure I destroyed my downpipe if I had kept that height until now. That lasted about 2 months....



At its lowest driving stage!!!!!!!!!

20s are 1" taller in diameter, but they actually only raise the car half of that (1/2"). From the hub centerline, the radius is increased only that amount.

hey bob, yes and no. yes from the hub centerline it's only 1/2" higher, but most people (including me) also had to raise the car up by 1/2" coz' otherwise i would rub crazy. so the overall ground clearance would be 1" more

btw, bob, email email email
