Why do people lower there rear more then there front!

[Heffer_Slayer]

Ok guys., This might be dummy question of the century, but ive seen a few cars on the roads with there ass hanging to the ground with there front out of spec?! Looks like a seesaw!

What is this a factory fault from the springs or what!?

Or is it just some new craze the younger people are doing that ive missed out on....didn't think i was that old!

Regardless. It looks shithouse imo.

This thought really only occurred when a bloke i chat to said he wanted to do it to his VX Wagon....needless to say I refused to help him

This would be why! And I agree.

[Veriton]

Cause they're all tools .

[Super_Low 91]

Mine sat like that for a week but i was in the process of acquiring the correct tools to do the job,, in most cases its just cheaper an easier to get some lowered rear suspension an fit in about an hour if you know what your doing. front suspension on some cars can be a nightmare so ppl just don bother

I can understand that. Which is fine....But if your gonna do a job finish it properly i recken!

I mean if you will never finish the front....then i wouldn't bother starting in the first place.

Il agree on that. never half do it. i hated my car when it was like that. but now its all lowered properly it looks heaps better.. iv seen some locals here going round lowered in the rear an i just hate it doesn even look nice., looks half ass. Same as cut springs, its just not worth doing, i dunno who decided that was a good idea but they need a good smacking across the head.. I seen one car here not long ago, drive over a speed bump an the rear spring fell out, he was lucky he wasn going to fast

It's because the rear springs take 5 minutes to swap and the fronts take much more effort and skill. Most kids aren't up for it and so they give up after the rear springs are in. It's a demonstration of failure

[GetToDaChopa]

The back of both my cars is higher then the front looks awesome (well on the VH it does anyway)

But yeah it seems to be fashionable these days to have the back lower.

[minux]

Its the invisible caravan effect.

foam, that is only half the equation, I bet rear springs are half the price also

[wraith]

Your not cool till your car looks like a dog with worms.

[hakhawk]

commonly referred to as "invisible caravan" or reverse rake, looks crap. i see too many cars like this. if you cant manage/afford/etc to do the fronts, dont do the back.

forward rake FTW!!!!!

pretty much same price, unless they get em "cheap"

[Snap-on]

It can also just be an optical illusion if you only look at the arches - with holdens 'rear top squashed arch look' in almost all models.

[fkford]

mine was like that for about 5 days because i put the back ones in to see how low they are then on the weekend i did the front as it takes way longer.. but i think most people like it like that :S .. full dandenong spec bro lol

[GetToDaChopa]

I'd like to add to what hak was saying... with this picture:

Wait till i get my front spoiler for it...

[greenfoam]

Has anyone noticed that the higher spec the Commodore the lower the ass gets. Statos are often draging the tank :P

That comment just made my day....

Least i know im still up with the cool kids in whats being regarded as nice on cars these days.....was going to say if thats the way our generation is turning. God help us all......and i was thinking of what cars would look like in 50 years time. Nightmares are coming tonight...

As the great hotness connoisseur herself would say

[Heffer_Slayer]

HA ha ha ha ha!!!!!

[vn_v6]

i like to have the back just a little lower than the front, jsut personal preferance, mainly so the rim tucks in more than the front, i just like it but not to the point where your looking up when u sit in driver seat

[Heffer_Slayer]

but not to the point where your looking up when u sit in driver seat

Thats what i was refering to.

Everybody has there personal preference's. But ive seen some strange cars....

I disagree, no rake FTW....

Personal opinion mate.

I think it's for the gangsta look

I reckon the front of my car could come down a little more (only an inch) but it sits perfectly level at the moment and that's how I wanted it. If I did do the front it would look as if it sat arse high which looks stupid.

[nathanVY]

i reckon level looks best. but having the bit a tiny bit lower than the front doesn't look the worst.

YES:


NO:
