i guess this is for whomever has a lowered car! post up how low you are to the ground and what your average driving speed is. And why you drive at that speed?


once i go dropped i think my average driving speed would be 70-75mph. i dont know why i just think that would be a nice conservative driving speed on the hwy.

(just measured)
lowest point on front bumper: 4.25"
lowest point of piping (such from headers to cat (?)): 3"

avg driving speed? well, i drive local and fwy...so 40-75/80 mph? i dont drive too fast on fwy.

I'm not slammed but I sit pretty low. Around the city I follow the speed limit most of the time unless I drive on some rough roads. Highway usually around 70-80 and sometimes out of the blue a 150 punch

[ant]

my car is about 110mm at the front bumper (just over 4") and lowest point is exhaust parts at around 3.75" and i drive whatever speed the limit is ! sometmes on freeway up to 120km/h but that's 20km/h over the limit so i dont normally 'cruise' at that speed.

spewing the other day going round a corner ive been around 100s of times to the g/f's house, first time round it since lowering the car it has a drop-off mid-corner and the front bumper scraped the ground pretty bad :P so ill slow down for that one now ..!

What does driving speed and being low have to do with each other? Drive whatever speed you prefer and slow down for obstacles.

Hmm too lazy to measure right now but to answer the question... Before drop: 80-85. After drop: 65-70. After rear spacers leaving almost no gap: 60-65 I find myself rubbing like a b*tch if i hit freeway bumps going over 60. If i want to go faster I might need to tighten up the Tein CS all the way but i like the ride at the softer setting so its going to suck. In the mean time im just going to have to institute the "no fat chicks, dubs will rub" rule.

well im sure they have nothing to do with it. but i lately i been seeing nicer car all done up with nicer rims kits drop etc and everyone of them were only driving like 65-70mph. i mean it could be to avoid things in the road, have enough reaction time to see whats ahead of them, not hit an unexpected pot hot as hard or see one. I don't know it could be infinite amount of reasons.

i just simply made an observation and just thought maybe there can be a correlation as to why they might be driving that slow or maybe they just like cruising.

they're just cruising and being careful...you have to when you look good

Once my 19s go on, I am sure my ride height will change from my current 20s set up

They drive slow so everyone can see them. Ever wonder why people driving Ferraris and Lambos go 10mph under the speed limit....unless provoked of course. Don't ask me how I know
