Lol, my firend's Nexia scrapes the middle underside of his car coming outta his driveway it's that low.

I'm getting new Jamex 60mm springs soon for mine. Not happy with the way the back of mine sits.

I've also got pretty far on with refurbishing my wheels. Filling out some of the nastier scrapes on them, 2 are almost done, one's done and primered, and 2 left to do

And nice one nick

Daewoos ftw

last weekend when i was pulling out of my fiances dads driveway my tail pipe scraped pretty bad, so bad that it was stopping the car, i had to pull back up and go down faster so it wouldnt catch, but then the tow hooks in the front scraped. driving a lowerd car is a pain in th ass, but it looks SOOOOOOOOO good!

Lol yep.

Did you have any problems getting your steering alligned with your car being that low?

Lol are your wheels not sititng like ducks feet atm then?

Usually, well, every single time we've lowered a car, the wheels toe out at the front because of the way the tie rods sit.

Lowering a car is also shite for wheel bearings eh? My friends went through a mad amount of them.

well i think i might have over tightened the axle nut so i blame myself. actually my wheels are sitting good, i did tie rod ends and ball joints when i lowered the car.

By did, do you mean replaced with original parts? Or did you get aftermarket adjustable ones? I know standard ones are adjustable to a point, but you can get ones that are far better.

Mines sitting really bad at the front since ive lowered it. Havent got round to doing the allignment yet. Havent been driving it anyway.

Hmmm. I might do that. After 50k miles the bushes might be a bit saggy. Or just leave the rods and get better bushes lol.

Money's tight atm

that reminds me... i still havnt had my alignment checked since having lower springs. i have noticed a slightly more negative camber, but not too sure as far as toe in/out is concerned.

Really? Seriosuly, every single car we've lowered has sat like a duck afterward. Makes sense looking at the way the tie rods sit. Instead of sitting horizontal they sit kinda diagonal. And because they're at a fixed point on the bulkhead, they have to pull the wheels both inward a bit to compensate.

Kinda like that, you need to really use your imagination like. But seeing as the tie rods are staying the same length, when they're diagonal, the horizontal length is shorter. Meaning they have to pull the struts inwards roward the car, leaving the wheels toe'ing out.
