Wink is she low enough?

Re: is she low enough?

I think she's too low

My idea of perfection with lowering is that the same constant gap is maintained between the arch and the wheel curve.

Good God!! You'll have the bumper off and need a chiropractor if you run over so much as a fag paper!!

Bit Pimp My Ride for my taste.

Re: is she low enough?

nice, i've discovered 2 issues with taking the marea any lower than 40mm, the first is the front arms will be put on a negative angle which is going to stuff the handling so unsure how to overcome this at the moment (raiser plate?)

the second is the undertray will sit on the floor if he goes down another inch so i think it need removing

Re: is she low enough?

nice trick why not see if it can go any lower, i once had my old alfa so low about an inch or so of the rim was in the arch and still had room to go lower, i could get my hand all around the wheel so plenty of room and it was driveable, wish i'd taken some pics
