Suspension=appearance

I know most people drop there ride for appearance, but I'm tired of seeing suspension questions in the wrong section. People, suspension is a technical topic, NOT appearance.

Yes in the beginner section only.

Yeah l know, I'm just ranting.

Cheap suspension questions/setups are for this section.

Proper setups/questions are for the Tech section.

Lower tie bars are mainly for appearance & are a suspension part ^.^ just kidding, I see what you mean though.

I guess in my mind, the only reason to do suspension is for upgrade purposes only and not just for appearance. I get it though...

Cheap suspension setups aren't just for appearance. They're for crashing as well.

so you don't lower a car to make it look better? thats odd.

[frankeefiggscb7]

slamming it is for looks only..... lowering it on legit suspension for handling is a technical

Yeah seriously, that what I'm saying.

You can put the shit in either section. All depends on where the OP feels it should go. Lowering could be for appearance or technical. Who really gives a shit anyhow.

Yup. That too. Cheapo coilover sleeves collapsed on me on the highway at 70mph. Drove home tuckin nuts.

How low a setup will make you, which brands go lowest, numbers, ratios, heights, usable setups...are technical.

Really, none of suspension is appearance. Yes, changing your suspension changes the look of the car but the proper suspension appearance question(s) would be like, what does a car look like on _____ setup?

Shot in the dark here, I'll say around.....30% of people who lower their car, actually do it for function reasons. Maybe even less than that.

A car "should" handle better when lowered. Most people do it simply for look. Cars aren't meant to drive on the streets everyday with thier oil pans 3" from the ground. But it's "cool" so let's all jump off a bridge.

People ask/tell me all the time about lowering my car and how I'm gonna do it. Sure I could run out and buy type 2s and tuck tires but why? So I can burn through tires and put even more stress on my already aging parts?

That's what I'm sayin Mike...

My car's not a racecar. It's not a track car. IF that day ever comes, my suspension will fit accordingly. In the meantime though, it's not necessary. Im a spirited driver and I like to take some twists and turns and like the windy backroads. My suspension should be fitting of my driving habits. I rock stock 16s in the winter and 17s in the summer and I'll probably never have anything bigger than an 18. My suspension of choice will probably almost eliminate the gap, on 17s. I might have an inch or 2 above tire and Im completely fine with that.
