Its all about the stance!

Going to be sitting down for a while and working out some real camber for the Jetta on some nice BBS RAs

Nice, although there are probably only two of those cars you can realistically drive everywhere being that low I would have thought!

Minilites on a Metro = WASTE

The rat BMW would be good to go anywhere really.

I bet a lot of these cars are on air ride... God I want an air ride setup!

the 635 looks sweet

Depends on the suspension, if theyve simply dropped it then its going to be near impossible, if they have used hydrogas or hydraulic types then they will pump the car up higher, still dangerous if you forget though.

Love the 635s. Would love a manual 635 of that time!

No point.  1st time you head in to some traffic calming youre refitting your bumpers, or buying new ones.  Ive seen one of the guys I used to work with take his entire sump off a Mk2 Golf because it was so low, and he get to a road hump and tried to do the one-wheel-either-side trick.

Its how I live and my entire estate is covered in speed bumps, aint had a cracked sump (yet!) Really it was due to the engine been slightly raised and on a Mk3 Subframe so it has a good clearance  

Id love a lower car, but again where i live you can get any road 4 different ways without going over several speedhumps and they are quite severe around here even with a non lowered car.

Im tempted by a slammed B4 Passat, as the sump, exhaust, etc is tucked up in the chassis.

Once I decide to get a sensible car its going to be a B5.5 Passat Slammed with raisable coilovers

My friends house I need to park about 3-4 streets away as the speed bumps are so bad if I went over I think the car would get caught like a see-saw and I dont want to have to get out and jack the back end up so the front end gets traction more than likely taking my exhaust with it.

Only thing I notice now and then is the odd rubbing of the chasis leg

This always makes me laugh...

Theres one near me on coil overs and 18s on a V plate for £1500, i was tempted but it does have 170k on the clock!
