Thats in front of the Autobacs store by Stanton.

They have a couple of display cars at the front of the store... I very much doubt that's driven around like that.

ewww airbags ruin your suspension, it's like having blocks of jello instead of shocks. :thumbsdown:

chopped

 

[boyRacer]

It's not chopped...

...its meant to be a showcar... and handling was probably not on the priority list if they chose to go with airbags or whatever it is... i dont see the point in such big wheels on a car either but perhaps its just to draw foot traffic for the store. Everyone's waving their pitchforks and torches... lol.

It does looked chopped. I agree though it probably has air bags. The tires probably rest on the top of the wheel well. People dont drive like that (unless there idiots and want to fck up there cars). IMO 20's dont belong on an is300 lol. They make the car slower and harder to stop. I would definately drive that car if it had the "correct" suspension though maybe some teins or something, but def not airbags lol...

The problem is the rims are too small. :disgust:

You should be able to crush ants with your drivetrain if your car is properly lowered.

haha

yes, it is photoshopped. look at the gap in the wheels in the picture you linked to. the original picture is the car with a photoshopped drop, you can still see the jaggies.

I dont like it, not right for that kind of car. My lincoln mark viii is that low, though I'd never drop my sc400 that low, in fact, I dont much like my sc400 now that i have the lincoln

its on bags if its that low. would be stupid to put it that low on coilovers; would take too long to raise it back up to drive, and going that low on coilovers may bottom out the shock. you still have no suspension travel either way.

i don't think its photochopped. plus, on the front wheel/tire, you can see where the shadow from the fender lines up just right on the tire, so i don't think its chopped.

That Lex is bagged/tucked hard.

And for those less versed, "no, the car doesn't actually drive around that low to the ground".

They hit the switches for dem b1tchez.

The picture i linked to is not showing the top part of the fender...

Download the high res picture and zoom in and see if you still see jaggies...

...if you're talking about the 'jagged edges' of the fender... well they probably rolled it to accomodate those big ass wheels.
