looks good, i think. When I see "slammed" cars, i think to myself they must have been dropped off a high building and their suspensions just melted or something.

I am really curious how you drive around in the RX8 like that - I'm looking at where the bottom of the car behind the front right wheel litereally is touching the ground. Even going over a bump that is 1 or 2mm would **** your car up. I just dont see how its possible unless you have some kinda airbag system on to raise it up for daily driving. I lowered my car with the mazdaspeed suspension and even that was only a 1" drop and I have a hard time in some areas of the metroplex here that are crappy.

They're not haters, they're smart enough to realize that the suspension doesn't work worth a damn in that position, it's just a wannabe F&F fantasy

slamed = slammed + flamed seems kind of fitting ...

Very nice! Though I also hope you can lift that car 2" so you can some day drive it off those paving stones. It would be pretty sick to see that think zipping around a road course only a couple mill off the ground. The G forces in turns alone would make it drag.

i would never do air suspension, but it'd be kinda cool to have hydralics lift my car up a 6 or 7 inches while i get over bumps and slopes. haha
