    keep that **** slammed and clean like that.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    ...you CANNOT be too cautious on IA. Thats all Im sayin. Take it from someone who has first-hand experience.

    EDIT - oh, and definitely keep it clean and low.

    I would say raise it. I don't like the "tucked" look, just a 2 finger gap or so and thats where I like most of my cars to sit.

    Lowering a car looks good but, just like with anything else, there's a limit to it. It looks like you either cut your stock springs or got cheap E-Bay springs that sagged out. I'm not bashing your ride, since I find the car itself very clean, I just think that you're slammed too much.

    Just because he's dropped a little more than the norm doesn't mean he has cheap e-bay shit or cut his springs. He MAY have that, I don't know what suspension his has, but trust me, a slammed car is not always a result of cheapin out

    I never said that's what he had, just that it looks that way from a general perspective. A tasteful lowering of 1-2" can improve a car's stance and help it look a lot better by reducing wheel-gap and the like. However, a 3+" drop on an compact like a Civic just makes it look like you're trying too hard.

    This is just my opinion. If he's happy with it (which he seems to be) then more power to him. I just know that I would personally never drop a car low and I don't like the look of it.

    It's kind of like when a fashion becomes popular, but some people take it too far and you just laugh. Not the best of examples, but it's the same principle. I follow the same opinion with lifted trucks. A slighted lift truck can look nice, but these retards you see on Barrett Pkwy with Jeeps about 10 feet in the air just take it too far.

    Again, it's all a matter of opinion.

    So you don't have to fear for the safety of your front lip everytime you go over a speed bump or down a steep driveway.

    Haha, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority of people in this site that worry about that, but I like to be able to drive around in the city without constantly having to worry if I'm going to scrape.

    Just to clarify, to each his own. I'm not trying to bash anyone or anything. I just can't imagine having a daily driver that is tucking tires.

    To fit in??? You have to be kidding me. How does having a slammed car make them seem like they're "trying to hard". The same could of been said with you when you Yaris. Looks like you trying to hard to fit in, by getting a hatch You see what I mean, makes no sense.

    But yes, like you said, it's all personal opinion. I love slammed cars and I love trucks with HUUUUUUGE lifts. I would love to own a truck like that with a loud ass Hella Horn

    That's a risk that your knowingly taking by lowering your car.

    I agree, to each his own. I'm just defending the slammed people BTW, a slammed DD isn't that bad

    ^Whenever someone posts a pic of a coupe, no one ever says "sell it and get a hatch."

    But if someone posts a honda or acura that isn't tucking tires. There inevitably one (if not many) post saying "slam it."

    Just saying...

    I don't think you're grasping the concept I'm trying to convey. I'll just let it go then.
