ehh im 99% sure that its on some sort of instantly height-adjustable suspension...

the roads in japan may be smooth but their not all straight
pretty sure you wont be able to turn with the top of the front wheel being ABOVE the fenderline

Cars like that are beyond road conditions... Like on Back To the Future, the wheels rotate to a horizontal position and the anti-gravity/booster rockets do their stuff.

Hey, I thought this was a discussion about exhaust tips?

ive heard its about half and half with air taking over. but i havent been to japan so i wouldnt know anyway

that car does look like its on air, just because its so darn low but ra40 is right, we were talking about exhaust tips or something right?

looks like that guy just got aftermarket exhaust and made a longer "hanger" so that the muffler sits lower to clear his rear lip... which is exactly what i did when i put muffler tips on my stock mufflers, made new hangers to drop the factory mufflers lower.

ehh..... google up wald

Big Steve has a similar spoiler design.. but not wald. i believe it is from admiration. and his year is a different year vehicle. the one on page one is ucf20/21 bmc (95-97)
