    Do you think I lowered my Ferrari too Low? (Pics)

    It rides ok, about another inch and I start taking out Reflectors on the Freeway.
    Why can't I just leave the suspension alone. Started with my 77 Pinto when I was 15 and now every car I get my hands on. Either Monster Truck too high, or Slam everything to the floor. When do I grow up.

          What happened to the second pic? That was strange. It was gone for second. I thought maybe it was the size of the image.
          Oh well.

              I buy cars to enjoy them, not to resell them. I'm not the type of guy that will park it
              so I don't put miles on them. I abuse them and drive them like its suppose to be driven.

                Well, I cut and pasted the URL so I could see the second pic, and it doesn't look like you could take it anywhere that has speed bumps.

                        How did you lower it? Adjustable coilovers? Got something to protect the oilpan, did you check your tires to make sure you aren't rubbing the inner fender walls over bumps?

                        It looks great, so no I don't think it's too low.

                          Not much room to go shopping in that car. I have all stereo equipment under the hood.

                              3inch suspension drop, no protection on the oil pan. And made sure tires don't rub.

                                    I agree, it is definitely abuse. Because when you feel the scraping and the pounding it gets on the pot hols and the driveways, it's abuse. Maybe in a year or so the Cash for Clunkers comes back in business and I can trade it in (If they give me $4500.00 for it)

                                              First, Beautiful car!

                                              Next, I know "Practical" isn't the word you would normally associate with a car like that, but it applies anyway. Here's why. Your car is too low. The only place you can enjoy such a low ride like that is on a perfect highway with perfect turns and no cops or other cars to slow you down.

                                              Most of the time you're driving your baby on "typical" streets. You know the shit that passes for typical: Pot holes, debris, cracks in pavement, garbage, you name it.

                                              As soon as you try to take your car up the slightest hill, you will not only scrape whats underneath, you'll wreck the front and back bumpers because they'll drag on the concrete of course. I don't know what a paint job for a car like that costs, but I'm sure its insane.

                                              It's obvious you love your car, but really you won't be able to relax enough to enjoy it like that (at least I woudn't). If I were you, I'd take more pictures, drive it around 1 more night and show it off, and then get it raised to an inch or so below factory. Yes high speed perfect universe turns won't be quite as much fun, but the rest of your drive will be a little more fun than they are now.

                                              STUNNING car.. congrats!!

The only place you can enjoy such a low ride like that is on a perfect highway with perfect turns and no cops or other cars to slow you down.

                                                Most of the time you're driving your baby on "typical" streets. You know the shit that passes for typical: Pot holes, debris, cracks in pavement, garbage, you name it.

                                                As soon as you try to take your car up the slightest hill, you will not only scrape whats underneath, you'll wreck the front and back bumpers because they'll drag on the concrete of course. I don't know what a paint job for a car like that costs, but I'm sure its insane.

                                                It's obvious you love your car, but really you won't be able to relax enough to enjoy it like that (at least I woudn't). If I were you, I'd take more pictures, drive it around 1 more night and show it off, and then get it raised to an inch or so below factory. Yes high speed perfect universe turns won't be quite as much fun, but the rest of your drive will be a little more fun than they are now.

                                                STUNNING car.. congrats!!
                                                Thank you,
                                                Actually, I just sold the CyberAge Lambo and that car was even lower. I don't mind the scraping of the bumpers and the bottom. But this car feels like a Go Kart. It's just a fun everyday thrasher. But for long trips and take my Audi.

                                                I was going to see if I can get it up to Willow Springs and run it on the track. I just don't trust the rims and tires that are on there. But we'll see.

                                                                            Then again they look like 20" rears and 19" fronts so you're kinda fucked on making them bigger and I doubt you could fit a taller sidewall tire on it.

                                                                            Great looking car though, nice to see someone modding it other than doing the regular oil changes and repairs. As long as there's no rub I would see about doing maybe a spacer for the fronts and rears (super small like 1/8th inch) to have them sit flush with the finders.

                                                                                                    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.

                                                                                                    What Audi do you drive?
