Ouch! :eek:

Cheating a bit with the manhole cover lol - I know I used to use ramps for low shots :eek:
 
The car is clearly on a hill... the back is higher, and the manhole cover adds another inch.

airbags.... great way to ruin a perfectly good car.

He does say he's getting the rear done on Weds, so I'm assuming it's still sitting up in the air. Not a huge fan myself, I like cars to be lower, but not too low. Plenty of mods that I'd have though come before airbags, but each to their own, more pics needed when finished!

lol, i don't know why everyone is saying it's "too low" or "unpractical"

They are height adjustable at a touch of a button so when the car is being driven it can be at a normal ride height.

The quality of the ride and handling maybe reduced now but he's not a track day wh*re.

and just think, if it's that low when parked it can't be clamped or jacked up:clown:

well you wanna give me 1200 for them, lol, didnt think so, had 3 dif sets of 17s and got bord of them. sticking with these till new1s come in 2-3month as ill have the cash
 
PMSL at not lost handling! with the greatest respect in my experience the "put big wheels and tastless bodykit on a small hatch" crew know as much about handling as i know about brain surgery.

gee some of the comments on here have suprised me being a newbie and all.

fred lowers his fook loads and he gets praise for it and just because someone wanted to be a lil differant (ok not to everyones tastes) but how is being low on airbags any differant to coilovers, if not better.

raise it up for practical use, raise it down for show.

i like it
 
airbags and hydraulics may mean you can set the ride height to suit the situation but they dont ride/drive like conventional springs and struts. You sacrifice the way the car drives purely to be able to dump the sills on the tarmac or raise it up. I bought my car to drive it not look at it so airbags or hydraulics are an expensive waste of time IMO.

each to there own, some people buy there cars to look good, may drive shite thats upto them, you did'nt need to be so harsh about your comments.
