Re: Do you think you B5 is Low? (Ville)

Is that air bags in the trunk?

 

Re: Do you think you B5 is Low? (NUISANCE)

I think that is.

 

Re: Do you think you B5 is Low? (Ville)

IMHO to low, but looks sweet Ville

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Ville)

Definitely not my style.

Holy smoke

Try to drive that car wintertime here in Sweden

 

Re: Do you think you B5 is Low? (krif)

Are those nitrous tanks in the spare tire area? Is that safe? Looks pretty slammed.. do you have air ride suspension to bring it up for driving?

I cant see any of the pics... but if they look like tanks & judging from the conversation about airride, those "tanks" are probably air compressors/tanks. Airride is somehting that most people in here are probably not familiar with, since it really was borne of the low-riders (and more recently, the ricer-low rider crowd). They really dont have any performance gains (coilovers are true suspension tuning mods @ 1/4 the cost); they really are just for looking cool, allowing for on the fly lowering and raising, and also for cool tricks. From the limited research I have done on this culture, they ARE better (performance wise) than stock suspension. There is currently an EEP memeber getting custom air-ride suspension being fabricated.... will let you know as soon as the sucker comes out.

He'd never make it up the driveway to gas stations here without trashing his plastic.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? ('03 Tradewind)

Here's what my car would look like thanks to the magic of Photoshop and Daniel Simek:

I've seen a lot of those guy with coilovers get somewhere to show their cars and then drop them several more inches...

Form follows function. Does this look functional on any day of the week?

It looks silly to me but whatever floats your boat Ville. More power to you and your expression.

Just know when to say no.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (D ZIGNER)

man, racing snaps are where it's at. just unclip the body parts whenever you have to come to an incline.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (The Blue Blur)

Too low.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Ricardo)

Can the car actually make a corner?

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Ville)

That's cool! Of course I love the color!

And a couple of

for the wheels. ICK!

But there is no way that car rolls over anything with the suspension lowered out all the way. That's a show only thing. I'm sure it got pumped back up before the car drove away.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Chas)

It's not my car if somebody thinks so... and this car is probably equipped whit this http://www.airbagit-bavaria.com/product_category.asp?id=444

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Ville)

How the hell do these people drive???????? Please tell me that they have compressors to raise em up. Not my style but hey, whatever works for ya. I like low but that's too low for me [$.02]

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (coloradob5)

It's insane how low people go. It's good that you don't keep your that low.

Anyone else need photoshoping, just email me!

Gotta agree. If function isn't important at the show, why not set it on the ground? That would be the ultimate in low!

Clearly I don't get it, but to each their own.

ROTFLMFAO!

True, I never thought of it that way. If it isn't driveable anyway, why not kiss the tarmac with the belly pan? The guy with the deepest depression in the pavement wins the show!

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (RevLordNikon)

I would guess most of these are show cars only and never see street duty. You can go all the way to the tarmac if it doesn't have to roll.

 

Re: Do you think your B5 is Low? (Mr_Mike)

Any1 can dump it with bags

run it slammed all day everyday and then show me some1 who was lower than me
