Low daily ride

[EDIT: Rolling video at bottom of page]

Thought the car was sitting pretty so took a pic.
Hate how iPhone pics never look even half as good as in person though!

Sitting pretty low now..




Zoomed in since the actual picture is pretty far out.

Looks stunning...but that splitter would last about 30 seconds on roads on the mainland before being destroyed!

It looks like you have no rubber on your wheels!

The roads you drive on must be nice and smooth over there like race tracks. Over here, most roads that I drive down have some kind of speed bump, huge pot hole or are generally shite..

I like the look of the car though, very nice.

Guess you avoid speed bumps altogether?

Thanks guys! Believe it or not, the roads here are no better than the mainland, been driving over there too and they're just as bad here. Just have to keep your eyes peeled for any potholes! Have always had my cars lowered and generally driving about the same roads so I know where most the bad spots to avoid are.

For speed bumps I just slow down in to 1st gear and go very slow, scuffs going over them, but better the under side of my lip than my actual bumper!
And I just go over the domed ones one wheel, seems to be the best way.

Thanks! Don't have many, and the ones I have are pretty crappy iPhone pics but I'll throw them up!







Tiiiiny bit lower than in those, you can see in the last pic that its slightly higher looking on the passenger side, so lowered it down a bit to make it level.
Original picture posted is what it's at now

Indeed, lol!
That makes it look about a foot lower on the drivers side! :/
Has been corrected now, but didn't think it was that bad, either a bit of camber on the driveway, or it wasn't fastened correctly at one side and was sitting lower.

Quality sucks, brother was hanging his 4s out the window to get it and then I had to rotate it online and its lost even more quality.

Gives an idea of what it's rolling like though
