    Car is looking good! any adjustable front/rear camber arms for that drop? While i understand lowering a car, as i have to every one ive owned. I just hope you got the car corner balanced and had the proper camber adjustments made otherwise your entire suspension geometry/handling could have been made worse by you lowering your car, especially with an adjustable coilover. And i ALWAYS suggest getting a skid plate, last thing you need is to accidentally hit your oil pan off the ground. I made a HUGE dent in my 2nd cars oil pan, just not worth the risk especially on a car of that caliber. Anyways looks great, and like suggested above get some wheel spacer, something like a 10-15 mm spacer would look SICK, but might require a slight roll. What kind of stereo equipment are you running? need moar pics!!!

        I don't think you will ever get it on a wheel alignment machine.

          Who cares about the risk of scraping up a bumper? It's not like you can't afford to get it fixed or you will have to walk to work because your car is in the shop.

          I would definitely get rid of those plastic pieces behind your front wheel and in front of the back wheel though. Not only do they look cheap, but they make the car look lower in the middle and higher on the bumpers. I think a nice even height across the entire body of the car will be better.

            It does, but it takes some work to get it on there.

                  I've owned a couple lowered cars but damn, I would never take a vehicle down that close to the ground... Even if you avoid speedbumps, a lot of driveways, malls, hell even the lift at your mechanic, will fuck up the bumpers

                      Its funny, we used to have Nissan 280 ZX's. First thing we did was take the springs our of the struts. Bumpy ride for sure. We were bouncing everywhere.

                        Every car I've owned with the exception of my current soccer mom (which I still think would look better another 3 inches lower) has been coilover dropped or fully air bagged.

                        I've chewed through more mufflers than I even want to admit to.

                                    Nice car you've go yourself there. I wouldn't of lowered it myself however and wouldn't stick wheels on THAT big, it's bad for handling. But it sure stands out!

                                                      Did you take that R8 for a spin without all the ESP and ABS and stuff?

                                                      Anything you did to custom the Audi's?

                                                        I have pics somewhere of my A8, I had lowered that with rims on it as well, Black on Black, but I just raised it back up recently because I was selling it. But now I actually enjoy it for long drives in it. The R8 is a fun car, but after seeing my wife drive it around, it kind of feels like a chick's car now. But haven't really turned off the goods and gave it a good run. It's a fun car for sure. I heard they have the convertible coming out soon.

                                                            R8 is sick. Lucky wife. I'd be borrowing that when she isn't looking. Although actually if I had your Ferrari I probably wouldn't.

                                                            Have you ever owned a 7 series BMW? It seems like the go to executive style car. Since you actually own one an A8, can you tell me why you choose it over something like a 7 series?

I spent most of my 20's with low rider and convertible trucks that were like 12"'s lower than stock so trust me I know all about lowered rides but I would still if I had the money want to make it so I could drive it with as little abuse as possible

But I would get some sort of air ride to lift it up a touch for the RR tracks and drive ways atleast. I spent most of my 20's with low rider and convertible trucks that were like 12"'s lower than stock so trust me I know all about lowered rides but I would still if I had the money want to make it so I could drive it with as little abuse as possible

I just don't get limiting where and how you can drive..

While i understand lowering a car, as i have to every one ive owned. I just hope you got the car corner balanced and had the proper camber adjustments made otherwise your entire suspension geometry/handling could have been made worse by you lowering your car, especially with an adjustable coilover. And i ALWAYS suggest getting a skid plate, last thing you need is to accidentally hit your oil pan off the ground. I made a HUGE dent in my 2nd cars oil pan, just not worth the risk especially on a car of that caliber. Anyways looks great, and like suggested above get some wheel spacer, something like a 10-15 mm spacer would look SICK, but might require a slight roll. What kind of stereo equipment are you running? need moar pics!!!

                                                                                              But I do go through a lot of tires.

Potholes, poorly banked turns, rocks and misc garbage on the road, railroad crossings, speedbumps, parking garages, hell just plain old driveways... I just don't get limiting where and how you can drive..

But you are right and its nice to come across someone with a car like yours who actually drives the car the way its meant to be. Looking good and lovin the Haman wheels 2 or 3 piece? also, what rim/tire sizes are you running on there? Sorry for all the questions, car just looks sick man!
