slammed as in

[phanatikz32]

wow dude you completely and totally missed the point of the thread. let me dumb it down a bit.

"slammed" Having a car lowered to an extreme. Bumpers,side skirts, or frame very close to the ground. - urban dictionary def. 5

all owners of z's that are lowered to an extreme with bumpers, side skirts, or frame, very close to the ground post up a pic! these are old, havent taken any glamor shots of my car in a while since its been so abused lately. but here you go! if you got a z that is lowered to an extreme with bumpers, side skirts, or the frame, very close to the ground post a pic!!

Here is my definition of "slammed". This is about as low as you ever want to go before you start making the car handle like crap. It's about 1.2" lower than stock on SPL Coilovers with a 1" preload.

[takethewall]

for sure. dumping a car is all style. Peformance wise, there is a point where it just doesn't make sense. My car is lowered on eibach springs and thats enough for me. Plus i live in pittsburgh and the roads are awful

[bad news boost]

that s*** looks good!!!! what did u use?

[300freekzx]

phanatikz32 not to threadjack, but I have question to ask you. Here it is, zer...o-you

[ArticDragon192]

My car is not a race car. It's my street car which I have fun with at the track. I'm not out to break track records. I'm just there to have fun and look good doing what I do.

is eibach good for simple suspension tuning?? I was considering for long time,, I heard they give you better steering and better MPG,, lol

i think you can go a little lower...

this is ST 1.5" drop

Better gas mileage? lol. I've seen that in the Eibach ads in magazines too. I haven't noticed?

And the springs are alright. They're a little bit bouncy, but the drop is about as low as I can go and still get in my garage. I would have liked to go a little lower, but it still looks good.

LOL! I am on a public computer at my university and you made my laugh out loud like some weird creeper. Thanks.

Also my car is lowered, but I'd say its probably a little short of slammed. I would love to go lower and may eventually go to coilovers. Only problem is the roads here are complete s*** and that would take a real toll on my car.

This isn't a "I'm lowered" thread. It's as the thread title states, "slammed z check in." A lot of cars don't meet the requirements here.

megan racing street series coilovers, and the pole for my jack to roll the inner lip on the rear fenders.

I ment to quote it, but whatever i guess you didint get that

[phanatikz32]

no i understood the fact that you were trying to quote that. but you must have not understood what the thread was for. if your z is not slammed then why are you posting in this thread?

Ugh, another "hardcore racer." Many of us build our cars as street cars. Street cars will always come faced with compromises. You have to give up something in order to gain something else. Do I know my car doesn't handle the best at it's ride height right now? Hell yeah I do. It's not ideal, but I can give up some handling in order to look badass driving around. We all build our cars too look nice and perform well, but on a street car, you need to find a happy medium or even a way of compromising what you want.

My car is still fun to drive. And IMO it looks awesome the way it is. It doesn't handle the best, but I'm fine with that. Like I said, it's not a race car. I'm not out to break records. If I was, I would build a race car and have no compromises.

[gnozahs]

I love these threads.

[phanatikz32]

I love these threads.

sick

love those stock wheels with the red lip looks dope. and are those 1st wheels g35 wheels?

man, it seems like everyone who drives z32's are all purists, why cant anyone break the mold? i mean how boring would it be if everyone drove stock looking z's. there's nothing wrong with driving a stock looking z or a slammed street z. to each their own. if you dont like slammed z's dont post, matter fact make a thread about how slammed z's are gay if you want or make a thread about race tuned z's or track z's but dont come polute this thread with neg. energy.

[Tixmaster]

Love these pics

[ztommyx]

Very nice "slammed" rides. I could never get that low here. I would leave my oilpan on a manhole or some guy in his lifted truck wouldn't see me and run right over me.

[takethewall]

Beautiful cars guys.

I didn't mean to come off as saying you guys were wrong. I'd love to lower mine more (maybe not as low as some of you guys) but the roads here in Pittsburgh are pretty awful.

ArticDragon... Always loved your car. What kind of wheels are you rolling on now?

I lived in Pittsburgh for almost 5 years. I'll attest to the atrocities that they try to pass off to their citizens as a public roadway system. I had a 93 DSM AWD. Not only could I not navigate the inner workings of south side or mount washington, but I scraped everywhere and that thing did not ride that low.

The only half decent road in the Pittsburgh area I can think of is Rt. 19.

[Weber3211]

i think you should put these wheels back on. they look awesome on your car.

I hate Rt. 19 up through the Wexford Flats in to Cranberry... a bunch of dimwitted soccer moms in Escalades. It's frightening.

There are some decent back roads near where I live (north of the city) but it's mostly awful.
