Default Is there a limit....

To how much you can slam a car.....Does it look tasteless after going beyond a certain point? I see some Civics with about 1/4 of the top half of their tire hidden and the car is bouncing all over the place. Too much to me. Not to put anybody down and to each their own. I'm just looking for opinions.

I personally have Neuspeed Sports on mine. I'll be taking pics soon once I get off my lazy ass and wash it good. Thanks guys.

you can slam it as low as you want. the question is...will it be drivable and reliable.

in PA the bottom of your car (say sideskirt) cant be lower than the bottom of the rim. thatd be pretty hard to do though, unless you have mad thick tires and small wheels

not to mention that would be ugly (and unpractical)

you can also mess up fenders if way to dam low........you would have to drive on nothing but flat roads...slightest bump and you would be screwed.

thats basically all it comes down to. I'm not going to lower my civic just because i don't think i would look right with my tires and wheels. At stock height, my tires perfectly fill my wheel wells

but it all depends on what you're comfortable with and what your tastes are, after all it is YOUR car

Personally I think it looks best when the top of the tire meets the fender, maybe a little more of the tire hidden. Anything more than that and I think it's just over kill. Lowering a car too much makes me worried I'd bottom it out all the time.

Werd. When they tuck it looks too big or small (depending on the rim size/tire size).
