  • Not my car (I'm happy with my 1" Dinan drop lol)
  • This just dropped (no pun intended) into my IG so figured I'd share

dont mean to be rude or out of place but can someone tell me the reason people do this to their cars? I mean the performance goes out the window? obviously you dont drive it that low but doesn't the bottom of the car get trashed?

That is only when the car is parked. For stance

When you want to drive, it is raised back up.

Taken too far for my taste... A 1" drop is plenty.

Normal cars: hit a pothole, replace a wheel.
Lowriders: hit a pothole, replace the car.

Yup. I'm not a fan of bagged cars either. Especially European cars. Some JDM cars look good bagged.

I definitely agree with you about performance. But I actually found out some formula drift cars have air suspension, but those go for $10k almost and are in range rover's

Yea I found out when I was having my sisters Range Rover picked up from my house and the Range Rover SA saw my car and told me he works at a formula drift shop and they worked on a lot of well known formula drift drivers cars. Pretty neat but not worth $10k lol

This brings me back to my younger days. I used to attend all VW car shows with a bagged Rabbit and then a CC 3.6 VR6 4motion which was perfect on air.

Air gets a lot of unwarranted hate and I think it's from people who have outdated views on it. It has a lot more advantages than just the subjective looks but most do it for the "woah" effect of slamming the car while parked. It's ideal if you want to go low and maintain comfort plus the power to raise it anytime for added clearance with a button press. Not ideal if you track your car regularly.

Now I won't be going this route with my M340i xDrive because I have autox'd it and will again until my E30 is ready. But I'll admit it looks great IMO.

I have never been a fan of aggressive drops

The standard, daily driver-friendly drops look better, in my opinion, even when parked.
