It's not very hard to have a very low car! Air ride you can put your subframe in the ground easy. And it's not terribly expensive.
We are talking about static here Rowley. lol And a proper air ride setup costs $2000. That's with piecing it together and building your own struts. If you buy premade struts, those are usually $1000 + for just the fronts=)

Brian's car could use a bit of a drop even to catch up with Tom. That would make for a sweet pic with two cars at the same ride height. Volvo vs BMW tandem drift. You down Brian?
Zach, you don't realize how low my car is do you? I tuck 15" rims... Frame rails are about 1.5" off the ground, my oil pan is less.

Air ride is expensive no matter how you look at it. An static low is way cooler then bagged. I've had both. So Don't question meh!

And a proper set of coils? $1500 at least. So it's really not terribly expensive. And if you have manual controls it can be done for 1000$ if you can fab your front struts.
sk8 or die

Actually any set of coil overs is proper. You can get stance coils for 900$ and those are far more then what you'd ever need. Just saying. yes, they make 35 way adjustable coilovers. But let's be honest here. None of you track your car or drift it to the point where you'd need that. Manual controls on air ride is gay btw. And hasn't been used in years.

people use manual all the time for budget setups. I would spring the extra cash and get decent management. Manual setups have a lot more room for leaks and issues.

Eh, the 35 way adjustable is real nice to have. I have 3 sets of numbers I use on my BC's. One for roads if I'm slammed, one for roads for when I'm raised a bit, and one for the track. And it really is a noticeable difference. It's crazy what a few clicks can do.

35 way adjustable is too much. Not for a car that gets street driven.
It works for Jake though since it doubles as a track car. It makes the ride more comfortable, and allows you to have a very refined setting at the track=)
And I meant that you could edit so instead of posting three times, you just put it all in one=D
