Im not to sure the reason, even though its clealy opinions, why the fact if you "slam" your car you guysbeleive it totally ruins the car if it is spec'd for our use?? .. Interesting fact afterI slammd mineilledmy wheels for 2mm of fender clearanc on the HAAS 5 axis at work, etc, my F is much more stable a high speed, and I mean 169 MPH high speed no shake and it is much more glued aerodynamically (I have made approx. 20+ approaches at this speed after suspension change etc)...agan we are not talking so much track spec...but aerodynamically and for looks the car actually handles quite well in this configuration... I "feel" many of you, just MY opinion lol, are ASSuming before you actually collect data and make assertions from such..But, again to each his own and completely understand if you dont like.....Im glad many of you dont live in houston, not saying doesnt go on anywhere else, but, here we slam everything. As a matter o fact my friend just received a Gallardo from his parents as graduation present, and last weekend I gladl helped him lower his factory coilovers..lol...and many owners regardless of trac background etc ended up doing the same...Thats why I love human nature so many views and opinions on different styles just interesting.. good thing we have options I guess..
good shiet

heres a small update..very small lol

Doesn't look as great as did when it was lowered, but it's better than damaging. I understand what your going through by it being to "aggressive' my rims on my old Integra kept kissing the fender, so I ended up shaving and rolling was after riding higher for a couple of months hated the look , but I'm still gonna stance for life!
