How do you drive ur lowered car.....???

As some of you guys saw that I got new shoe. Renntech RS wheel
19 x 9 and 19 x 10. I lower the car alitte "via star" and I am rubbing on fast and hard corners, driveways. and a very small bump on the lip of my fender.

And I see pics of your rides and it is slam. How in the world do you drive it? or do you just raise the car and be done and lower the car for pics?

how much room do you leave between the tyre and the fender.. I have only about 1 chinese finger space. I am going to raise it tonite to about 2 finger "or 1-1/4 inch" space between.


The pic below is stock height.

mines slammed.. when i drive.. when i take corners, just slow down more, or before you see a bump or a turn coming up, press the airmatic button, after you turn, press it again to lower again.. or when im going up speedbumps and stuff, just turn steeringwheel left or right to get one wheels on first, sideways

Surely there is a tint out there that won't look that way through your glasses. The poor poor car does need some tint!

I think if you get metallic or ceramic tint, you wouldn't get rainbow effect.

My bimmer and C55 have non-metallic (regular) tint, and yes, I got rainbow effect.

But my E55 has metallic tint and I don't have rainbow effect.

..
Driving a lowered car becomes second nature if every car you've owned has been lowered. Some of us are just used to it.
