Air ride suspensions have been out for a long, long time.. I think the only difference is that companies are giving more support for this sector of the market.

FYI I think the "newer" trend is bagging your car by adding bags to your coilovers.

Proponents of static lowness have coined the saying "bags are for groceries..."

From what I can see, I like that black chrome grill. Might look into it

What?!? It's certainly not something you see often in Europe and if you do I believe most people will associate the style with certain areas in NYC.

ya because everyone who buys replica parts i automatically think:

1) Cheap ahole
2) Hates his wife
3) Has a small pee pee
4) Got picked on in life and now carries and elitist grudge
5) Has money but no taste or class

"bags are for 40's"

"bags are for fags"

"stay static"

Low riding started in California about 70 years ago. In the 1950s California started a law that required the minimum road to bottom of car clearance height of one's vehicle due to the increased number of low riding cars on the road.

If any of the tire is tucked in, either front or rear. I see it as you needing some new shocks.

I would NEVER tuck my tires in. They are round and so are the fender cut round, both circumferences (fender and tire) should be completely visible.
I think a gap of 3/4 inch between the tires and the fender is the best Setup.

Sorry bud not something I would do :thumbsdown:

It looks shit, my car is lowered and it looks sweet but this is too low.

Other that that it looks average, nothing special and nowhere near as nice as some of the members cars that ive seen on here!
