    Default How low do you ride?

    Ok, well i've been looking at a lot of the Cars posted on Ia and many like there car slammed rather than lowered a bit. The first time I lowered my car, those were my issues; Camber, Scrapped/Dents on Headers/ Exhaust, Broken Lips slow down and drive around a bump, and worst a hole in the gas tank.

    How low do you ride??

    Slammed? 1.5''-2'' Lowered?

    This is my style. Post yours.

    All you guys got me. I ride stock height in a 91 GMC Sierra 1500XL and it doesn't corner for shit. Upside tho is I don't have to slow down for speed bumps or shit like that..
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Yup and this is what you get when it's TOO LOW, period.

    Quoted from OP: "I lowered my car, those were my issues; Camber, Scrapped/Dents on Headers/ Exhaust, Broken Lips slow down and drive around a bump, and worst a hole in the gas tank."

    Not worth banging up your car just to look cool.
