I've got a 3.5 inch lift and this guy has less than 3.5 inches ground clearance. I was going to challenge him to a rock crawl, but then decided I should just challenge him to a pothole instead!

To each their own I guess. I once had a car I was going to lower and if i had gotten into the VW scene when I had them, I might've eventually put an air ride system in to slam it down when parked, but able to lift it for comfort/driveways/cracks/etc.

We spend money like its free , I get that. Some of these cars have serious buks tied up in them and other than putting it on a track of some kind , whats it for ? I had a chance yesterday to see two Jeeps park either side of a lifted Ford pickup with more chrome than a Chrome shop would have ! No he wasnt parked between his lines at the mall
. No I didnt stick around to see what happened , but I would have liked to ! If your into lowered/lifted , high HP or whatever , I get it . This is a waist in my opinion . FjR68

Without seeing the back end or knowing the model, it could honestly be a failed factory air suspension, some models did have them, also like the Mark 8s that always have that problem lol.

If you look close he has his headrest pulled up to the roof it looks like.
As bad as it is it is still better than the imports you see driving around with the wheels at a 15 degree angle to the road surface? What the h÷// is that for?

They think the excessive added camber aids in cornering, but mostly it is so the tire doesn't rub on the wheel arch.
What i don't understand it the tire that is too narrow for the wheel. Can't be safe at all.
