Lies!

Not low enough.

I find it ridiculous if you think your car isn't low enough.

If I want to lower, I wouldn't want to scrape the lower side of my car -.-

Lol the only way I can go lower is to trim my frame rails and raise the exhaust, etc. My car lays on its rails/exhaust aired out.

I kind of want to get it an inch lower to sit the skirts and bumper itself on the ground. It would be a first.

Lol sounds like mine from my coilover days. Smashed and worn through lol. I need to weld up a new setup soon anyway and might modify the pipe shape a little.

i mean really low looks good and all, but my car is too nice IMO to mess things up by going any lower.

Being really low looks good most of the time. But then you want to drive aggressively and your airbags are wobbly, your car is scraping on turns, you have stretched 185 tires with no grip, camber is stupid, etc.

Good thing I have none of those problems.

That's my thing on it.

I won't knock it for other guys because some people really enjoy the "low is a lifestyle" sort of thing. Not to mention every time I turn around it seems like its getting more and more popular, so for the most part I just keep my mouth shut about it. If that's how people get their kicks then more power to them.

However, for me personally, even though I just daily my car in an urban area, i still drive it. Hard. Really hard. I wouldn't ever run anything thinner than the 235s I'm currently on. As it is I have to constantly remember not to smash my lip on stuff and I tiptoe over speedbumps using the angle method and sometimes I still brush it with my frame. And I have MILES of ground clearance compared to some of you, i think 4" or a little less at the lowest point. I can't imagine what it must be like trying to get Ken or Frank's car over a speedbump.

I used to rub in the rear with passengers and over hard bumps, but with the 15mm spacers, it doesn't really do it anymore. If I theoretically had a slammed car i think I could handle babying it around bumps but if it rubbed all the time I'd push it off a cliff. I hate that sound so much.

It mostly goes back to the driving it hard thing. I want to be able to tear ass in my car in any given situation, and you need a little ride height to handle properly and make sure you don't tear off your oil pan when you hit a dip in the road. Like when I beat the yellow light turning back onto the main road after getting my coffee in the mornings. If I tried that little maneuver with much less clearance I'm almost certain I'd rip the whole bumper off.

My trusty (dirty ) steed waiting for me to leave work tonight. I think I wanna put a spacer on the front so the tire doesn't disappear in there.

My car won't go over certain speedbumps but i still drive the Hell out of my car (when it isnt broken)

Then again I know every road over here like the back of my hand and I know where to avoid it but I don't rub at all in my car with the trunk packed out +4 passengers she drives fine, a little sluggish but fine.

That being said I love the way an e36 looks with a nice thick tire and a slight rake (nice and agressive)

Joey the blonde looks amazing and she's lucky she gets to sit in a parking garage, my red head has to sit in the sun or find shade

Honestly. as a whole car, yours is probably IMO the greatest looking E36 here, inside and out. maybe it's the color, but the wheels and the paint, and the everything. it justs speaks to me. fcuk i want a dakar coupe SO BAD
