How LOW can one get!!!
Well guys, I guess this could be posted 2 ways. I could be taken as an Appearance mod OR a cooling mod. I just figured I'd share a pic of the air dam I just installed before it gets all F%@#ed up. Enjoy.
Let's see how low your rides are.

Hey your ride looks the same color as mine. I'll get one of mine tomorrow morning hehe! But my airdamn is already "trimmed" a little smaller seeing as how the idiot before me didnt know how to drive a low car.

I just ordered that air dam cuz when I bought the car, the original was missing. I think I might have to trim mine a little too.
Yeah, my RS has been repainted a darker metallic teal. Here's an older pic.

My y pipe was scraping @ stock ride height when I had those smaller wheels and tires(damn big exhuast) ...I hated it, especially when someone would ask for a ride and I knew they're drivway sucked. I'd be like, meet you at the end of your road!

No fat chicks, just loaded it with weights to make sure that nothing rubbed after the fender modifications....

Ahhhhh!!! Tiny brakes. FLYINLOW I think your next project should be some BIG brakes. w/ 19s I think you should be able to fit about any brake on the market in there.
Did someone say no fat chicks?

I know you can get bigger, or at least some cross drilled or slotted rotors. IMO the biggest downside to big wheels is it makes your brakes look tiny. I forgot you had the LS1 brakes on there because those wheels are so big, Sorry

Some 13" Bear Brakes are in the works for the front and some cross drilled/slotted rotors for the rear with some nice painted calipers to match.....
No hurry on it though as the fornt brakes and rear brakes went out in a emergency and had to get them replaced, which means they are brand new, so no sense in replacing them.......not least not yet.....

Dont mind the mess of a car. or the oxidized rims. Its been neglected the last Year or 2. Ive been lazy and not motivated to repolish the rims or finish prep for paint.
lol.. BTW thats NO springs. I pulled em out and put em in my vert. NO WAY thats drivable like it is. K member was like millimeters off the ground.

Here's mine. That's like 2 inches of snow on the ground there and notice the air dam/plow on the front. I have since gotten the rear down to match and it looks tons better.

Can't get the car up on ramps unless I use extenders or jack it up and shove the ramp under.

It is a 2 color fade on there. 96ish Mustang metallic purple in the front, and factory 87 Iroc medium blue metallic. It has a roll cage that fades at the same point in it and pictures just don't do it justice. I don't have other pics of it on this computer. BTW, that bling-wing is gone. He went with the 91-92 Z28 wing instead. He put the wing in the pic on there about 8 years ago, and it was awesome, I loved it. After the whole import invasion and Fast & Furious happened, it just started to look tacky to me. Next time I go down there I'll get some good pics of it the way it is now and post them up.

I gotta say u guys are insane to want your cars that low. Unless you drive where theres no bumps in the road, no potholes, no nothing you risk the chance of screwing your new paint job and even worse body. I like em high but thats my own opinion.

The only thing you risk screwing up bodywise is the paint on the front spoiler. That, the air dam and the y-pipe (sometimes) are the only things that take any abuse.

Zepher, what did you use to lower your car?
I currently have dropzone springs installed, but the front is too high for me. Anyone have other options? Also my shocks are shot so that couldnt be raising the height.

USA-1, I can't get my car on ramps or a jack and my car is all original. I have to have my dad lay down boards and hold them in place so I can change my oil.
