Default Saw this today, how much lower can you go?

As soon as I saw this ES, I asked my wife to take a picture so I can share with you guys.

That's the lowest profile tire I have ever seen. His lower control arm on the front almost touch the ground. I am sure the ride is not smooth but kind of cool.

I notice you're from Washington... I'm pretty sure I've also seen that same car. I recognize the ride height and roof rack. Sick fitment. I wish I could ask him what kind of setup he has haha.

YES, heading SB I-5 near Northgate. As I mentioned, I do like the color. But the ride is little too low for me Just not sure how you can get over bumps and potholes

Yup, I've seen that car around the Northgate/Lake City area a couple times. It's not too bad to drive around that low; I have a few friends that are just as low if not lower and drive around fine on a daily basis, you just have to be careful and plan ahead. However, potholes suck, especially in Seattle. The roads are so terrible here...
