anyone wanna see how low a vx is without shocks or springs?

[Ripcell]

was changin my rear shocks and breaks so decided to put it down to see how low it was...

[EvoVIIIJDM]

tis a fine lowering but it sure is no pool english (simpsons).

[Boonz]

man you still ahve heaps more clearance before the diff hits the ground

[Ripcell]

hehe yeah was quite low, so low theres like a 1" drop between the carport and the driveway, i had to make a ramp outta some timber to get it out for a photo, the exhaust was still scraping lol

man you still ahve heaps more clearance before the diff hits the ground

yeah the diff was ok, the muffler was the low part

camber was huge, 5ks and ya would need to rotate lol
i took the rubber stop out so was sitting right on the metal bits so was as low as it could get

not even driveable, was gunna put it on road for a photo, couldnt even get it thru the gutter

[a pirate]

wow thats low....air bag low!

[KRUPTD]

Looks good Ripcell.Another project could be removing the front springs,lol.

hehe yeah, if i get bored enough, which means its likely, ide proberbly do it in a flat carpark so i can actually take some photos, cos driving it out of the driveway would be impossible let alone to get photos

[f1tzy]

thats real rim tuck lol

[Wagon_Wheel]

Hahahaha yeah tuckin rim on 17s,.... TUFF!!!
Lol looks crazy, thats like really really really low, its funny though cause some people would probly attempt to drive it like that

[Emackulation]

Lol, fully hektic bro.

[Kikki]

[nicko]

choice!!!!!

just a q? how did u get a jack under it again to replace the springs lol

[Troyziee]

lol, ive been sooo tempted to do this on so many occasions, might have to give it a crack now

is it drivable? (ie: down tha rd to a park for photos, NOT drivable as i wana do chap laps like that lol) i assumed tha tryes would jus rub on tha tub? cause i got a park 100mtrs down from my house! though VLdavo raised a good point, howd u get it jaked bak up?

[VL_5SPEED]

Man thats pretty sad, the top of the rear wheel is only just tucking under the shell. Thats what is **** about the newer cars, even when you lower them they still look like high.
Heres my VL, top of the rear wheels tucks under the shell and its still at legal hight

yeah thanks, the vt onwards seemed to have real big wheelarches, the vs etc can tuck rims quite nicely, a mate has a real nice vs tuckin his 17s when he had them on it, has 19s now, tucks almost an inch, its bloody low lol

um, tyres didnt rub at all, i thought they would but they didnt, if the road is REAL smooth u would be able to drive it, eg, i couldnt back it down from the little drop in the concrete i had to make a ramp out of some timber,


and i couldnt back it over the gutter without sticking the fuel tank into it...

i have to admit, it did look good, but goofy because the front was up, cars lower in the ass than the front just look silly. would be good if it was drivable

It isnt very low, its only just legal... Im saying my car at a legal low the wheel tucks under. His car with no springs and it tucks under...

Im talking about the wheel being tucked under, my car is still lowered at a legal height.

yeah, i didnt notice that, tuckin at legal height would be nice, needs bigger rims
