    Default Dead Body in the Boot

    I've seen lots of cars getting around of late - dragging it's arse on the ground. This just looks soooooo silly - wanting to be "gangster" with a dead body or 2 in the boot.

    These cars must have choppies in the rear or super super low springs or what ever they are called and must handle like crap. The caster on the front wheels must make it steer horrible. On the open road can they turn a corner at anywhere near highway speed.

    I hope this current craze "dies" a natural death before too long

    i think the rest of australia has been dealing with the "invisible caravan" look for quite some time now.

    reverse rake, looks crap, still cant work out how people like the way it looks.

    a common thought is that rear springs are easier to replace than fronts, so thats as far as they get.

    Hey it's fine for an Aussie bloke to have the boot full of beer - no problem with that at all.

    I've never understood why it appeals to people either - to me it always looks as if the rear suspension is ****ed.

    People have different tastes. I can't stand the stretched tyre look, and can't for the life of me work out how anyone thinks that looks acceptable. Each to their own i guess...Having said that, not really a fan of the reverse rake.

    Its probably similar to the old school rides, front down/ass up? Just a trend.

    Still agree it looks pretty average, either do all 4 super super lows, or don't do any

    Wow, lets start another thread on this ffs. Its just a trend, no one is trying to "Be a gangster", you realise how much of an old fart you sound like saying that..
    And before you say, my car is lowered evenly, Im just sick of hearing about people whinging about this.

    Dont post or read it then and my VN has the country pack on it so it sits real high (helps the broken back I had) so getting in and out is easier for this very very old fart...
