well, it all depends. having a low car isn't exactly practical, but it's not something to get mad or indignant about when someone else does something to their car.

so get mad at this dopeness:

Because you should be able to at least DRIVE a car from point A to point B without breaking things and being pulled over by the cops.

So I guess I don't undertand your logic...

Yea, I didn't mean to open that can of worms (or else I wouldn't frequent this thread), more just answering kim jong illin's question from the last of page.

The funniest thing is, 95% of the people who bitch about a cars suspension geometry being "ruined" cant tell you why its ruined, what caused it to be ruined, and what affect it will have on a cars actual handling.

And even if they could, they still couldnt drive well enough for it to make a difference, since the car will outdrive them even in stock form.

Well you guys are going to the other extreme, the concerns raised aren't because it'll run VIR 2 seconds slower, but rather that it would impede normal spirited driving on normal streets. But like it's been said, this thread is about cars to drool over rather than practicality.
