Default Is there such a thing as "Too Low"???

Well... everyone likes their car to have a lowered stance... but is there such a thing as being "Too Low"?
(disregard the difference in performance around a racetrack for this poll please)

Post up your examples if you like...

Personally, I like my car the way it is... but something inside me says it would be awesome if it looked like this!

Buy a commodore Jimmy!

If it's purely about looks then have a look at Jan's ride height that sits perfect in my opinion.

There's a certain gain from lowering a car, usually 30 - 40mm from oem height with the RIGHT 'quality' suspension components will net a good handling result however ride quality is severely undermined. 60mm lowered springs does NOT constitute a good handling car, more like a skateboard waiting to skid off the road. But if all you're after is looks, knock yourself, just drive slowly through roundbouts

Agree Jme, and this poll is purely about the looks...

i like "low" and feel every car should be lowered but i do think there is a limit to how low, i think too low can look silly

Yep, noted. In terms of looks, guards just sitting on the tyres looks pimp, tucked so lightly under. Wheels sitting well smashed in the guards looks disproportionate.
