And to everybody who has dropped their car stupidly low and has to break for every dip in the road. Even if you have the fastest car in the world, a 4 year old on a big wheels could fly past you as you practically stop to go over rail road tracks. It just looks stupid. If the system isn't blasting you hear the loud muffler even though the car isn't going anywhere, kinda like a girl stuffing her bra. All bark no bite. Do you want everybody to watch how slow your car is?

So I guess my car looks stupid becasue I have to take railroad tracks and steep enterances slow and at an angle? Well for your information I would rather look stupid and have good handling then have a car thats factory height and another reason I take that stuff slow is so I don't mess up the suspension (flying over tracks and into parkinglots can't be that good for the suspension). You do know that you are on an enthusiest site right? And there are quite a few modiyed contours/mystiques on the site.

As for the comment about do I want people to see how slow my car is. I really don't see a problem with having a car that looks good and isn't fast, besides fast cars=speeding tickets.

Bleow is a pic of my car and yes it is low and yes it does scrape when I go through deep dips in the road but I knew what i was getting into and I sure as hell don't wan't my car to be factory height and FYI I a 1.2inch Eibach drop (has most likely sagged to 1.5inches)and because my fornt was custom made it sites lower than an SVT on Ground Controls tucking 18's (I know because I parked beside one and measured). And I guess I'm also rice because rahter that paint the Mirko body colour I painted it flat black.
