[QUOTE="crystal_method, post: 778066, member: 3473"] hi there, jus wan2 say if u upgrade ur rim size etc it doesn't necessarily make ur car lower well depending on the rim/tyres used. it may make ur ride LOOK lower (since u got b/kit) and cos when the rims bigger it tends 2 fill out the wheel arch more giving the illusion that ur car's somehow lower. ur ride gets lower when u LOWER THE STANCE of the car which is where u start 2 fiddle around with the suspension etc. 2 me LOWER IS BETTER... 2 me it looks 100 times better then stock height. almos everyone has lowered their car nowadays - i've got plenty of frens who've done it, from stock cars 2 ultra heavily modified cars, real sports cars 2 protons. HOWEVER it seems 2 me most ppl out there dunno the correct way 2 slam (lower their ride). i'm not boasting or anything (i'm no sifu so pls dun flame flame)... yea sure at da end of the day the car's lookin really tricked-out cos its god damn low but then they end up with handling problems, the tyres hitting the arches or the suspension setup being really uncomfortable. cutting ur springs is a no-no, like the others sed, get adjustables. i use HWL hi/lo hard/soft coilovers n i recommend it. other nice brands include TEIN, TITAN and tanabe jus 2 name a few... oh yea eibach federn n koni yellows r damn good too. so what i'm trying 2 say is u gotta play around a bit until u find the RIGHT COMBINATION (rim size, tyre size, offset, suspension type etc)... for example having adjustables is only half the battle won, if ur rim offset 2 big etc you'll b compromising handling and comfort. pls know u CAN get a f.cking slammed ride but STILL HAVE comfort n good handling... some frens of mine slam maximum, but then their suspension is rock hard 'n' really not comfy. but then again, hehe u gotta remember where u go, once u slam there'll b quite a number of places u can't go cos KL's population of speed bumps and shitty roads is more than people!! :) also i myself have trouble going up shopping mall parking like in sg. wang downtown :( so pls think b4 u slam dude! anyways i hope this helps a bit but i'm no sifu, jus my 2 cents! :) [/QUOTE]
