Why a drop isn't for every one.

[Lyrred]

The title says it all.. I see threads that get every one involved and i know they're pretty fun/interesting. Every one wants a drop on their car because it looks and feels better but show or tell us why a drop would be a bad idea for you. So here's how this'll go: Post pictures or leave a comment that shows why a drop would be a bad idea.

some of my roads are ultra fked.. If i drop any lower my ride will get swallowed.

i'll take a picture of the road near me that they rip up every 3 weeks. -that place looks terrible.

Is this in Florida or the Bahamas?

Don't know about the Bahamas but if that is in Florida and that is a public road you need to notify the city, that is where some of your taxes is supposed to go...

Ohio. Or, frankly anywhere in the midwest with frost heaves.

Thats why.

I lost a wheel in Ohio at 70 mph after getting cutoff and swerving into a pothole. The next time I drive through Ohio I am going to ruin a rest-stop bathroom. It'll be dead to the world for two weeks.

I have a -40/-30 drop and for our roads it's often too low. Our roads get better every year, but still things like sewer lid sticking out few inches above the road can be spotted on smaller streets.

And in some smaller cities, when winter leaves uncovering new holes in roads, they... read it carefully - PAINT THE AREA AROUND THE HOLE - to make it visible... They go on with fixing (filling with tar that is) stuff when road looks like swiss cheese (only white).

How the hell do you have potholes in Florida? Everywhere I've been down there, the roads are pretty good. The surface is very coarse for the heavy rains, but there usually aren't any potholes.

All of my cars are lowered and I wouldn't have it any other way. I live in a very wealthy town, so the roads are pretty well maintained considering I'm in Ohio. They ought to be though, since we pay taxes out the ass. If you ever go over to Pennsylvania, the roads are equivalent to a 3rd world country.

lol we pay our government out the ass too.. This is what they do.. They fix the roads then dig them back up a few weeks later to do work.. which is very shitty.. in the end it just ends up like that original post. This was taken in the Bahamas not florida. All the roads arent like this though.

or just learn how to drive a lowered car. It is what you called road awareness. thx

[Yakinho]

Learn how to drive it over the huge gashes in the roads that they don't cover up? They don't even have signs around for construction half the time. I bent a wheel on a 3 inch deep section of the road they cut out, and didn't have any sense to put up cones or signs at night time.

You should seriously visit my city. Bring your car over. And a few oilpans. They are expensive here - I wonder why...

QFT. I'll try to take a picture of a road that's right next to my house.
