So i was wondering what you guys had to give up by lowering your car or had happened when you lowered your car. When i put my new wheels on my car got lowered by a lil and now i can't go into my fav car wash

I am low enough to where my driving is minimally affected.I see no point in slamming to the point where my driving affects traffic. That looks dumb. That's my opinion. To each his own.

The roads here are decent so not much has changed for me.

I just have to drive slower when going over speed bumps and entering/exiting parking lots with a grade. No biggie.

If you are taking the car through one of those auto car washes then you fail anyway. If you cant get out of your car and wash it yourself, then you are too lazy to own a 240sx anyway. Go as low as you see fit. Me, I like the car to be slammed, I drift it though.

Calling me lazy HMMM say i shoudln't own a 240sx HMMM i say lets race (running on foot race) see who is lazy then!!! Back to the topic yes it was a automatic car wash... my pressure washer broke and i had dirt on my car so i went to one payed 4 dollars to get the dirt off so SUE ME!

Btw automatic car washers do a decent job at cleaning cars. atleast where i live, And i can afford to do it. Your basically calling everyone who owns a 240sx cheap and can't afford to do a carwash. and dont say s*** about having pride for your ride.

When I had to drive my 240 in the winter I would take it to carwashes all the time. You don't want to wash your car yourself when there is 2 feet of snow on the ground.

I took my car to a scrub-a-dub carwash one time and it was the kind that pulls your car on a track. My frame rails were scraping on the track the whole time making this terrible sound. Everyone was looking at me. It was terrible. Another time I got stuck on this hump of dirt in a construction zone. Three workers had to push my car off of it.

U'll understand one day kid. Auto car washes make swirl marks ask anyone who knows. Also, from you original post you stated that this was your favorite car wash, not one that you went to once as you just stated there. Here I'll show you...

I cant make that up...

Also, foot race. Sure, come to jersey and we will do so... I'm not that proud...

But yes I feel you are lazy if you cant use a hose and sponge like everyone else. If people get offended, I could care less. You have a bone stock car, mod it up, make it fast, and enjoy it. When you lower it, lower it as low as you see fit. As far as what to buy, do some research, decide, buy...

And I would suggest calming down, no need for all the hostility...

As far as the winter is concerned, I wait for a warmer day and wash it.

just the wheels. They are the newer stock ones but they aren't as thick of tire as my other ones. the drop was probably about a inch or inch and half. cause i used to beable to clear the little step up in the parking lot at work by like a cm now im way to low to get over it.
