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!!!

That is bad ass man. nice work!
|
I don't think you will ever get it on a wheel alignment machine.

Now you got me thinking about selling my lambo i have a 2007, Murcielago if someone is interested let me know color: orange
|
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 :(

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. |
I think that looks bad ass Dave!
I've always tried to customize every car I've owned.. starting with the wax job on my primer gray Buick Roadmaster when I was in high school. |
I say that some production company will rent that for a rap video within 3 months.
|
My penis stretcher has my head hanging just 1" from the ground. I think I went too far.
Anybody wanna say pics or it didn't happen? |
my biz partner had his BMW extremely low and i did not really enjoy driving with it. yes, great on straight, new roads but god forbid the roads were bad or you wanted to enter a parking garage... lol

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! :2 cents:

Does Everyone have a ferrari these days? Mine is in the shop, gun shot.
|
god help you if you have a fat chick in the car and run over a bottle cap and bottom out

Ferrari for fun, a8 for bizz and have the lady go from a to b in an R8. Did you take that R8 for a spin without all the ESP and ABS and stuff? Quite a monster if you ask me. Not as raw as the ferrari, which is why you're driving one, but just saying... Big Audi fan right here. Anything you did to custom the Audi's? |
Quote:
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. |
So, then the point was to decrease handling by changing the suspension geometry from race spec?:winkwink:

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? |

that looks sick as hell! :thumbsup 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

What, was my question too technical for ya =P
|
I've never understood lowering cars, especially that much. 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..
|
|
It certainly LOOKS badass. How does it handle, can you remember what roads & parking lots not to hit? If so, fuck it.

Too much too list, I'll see if I can get more pics up later. Regarding Camber and balance, when a car is that low. it doesn't really matter how much you work on the camber. You just need to tell yourself you are fucking up the car so drive the hell out of it. :( But I do go through a lot of tires. |

The scrape marks on the bottom, that's another story. |

I keep telling sponsors that I need to test their models before I will promote them, but they won't let me. It usually just ends in a restraining order. :Oh crap |
i feel ya 100% on that, im going through rears on my G35 every 5k and when you have a 20x11 rear with a 295/30/20 it adds up quick. 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!
