I'm not joking when i say you need a truck to safely drive through there. Boston roads are seriously the worst

    I moved a buddy of mine and he used that truck route as a shortcut to get to Chelsea... My "Range Rover" even screamed wtf at me!

      Roads are bad everywhere, people using them as excuses are lame. I've driven this car through the center of NYC at this height and didn't break anything. Granted, I wouldn't let my mother drive it, but as long as you pay attention like you should be you won't have many problems.

          Truth.

          People say the same thing about socal car people going super low..."well you guys have awesome roads so you can go low" ...no we have some of the most used up traveled unkepted roads in the states... we just mod our cars this way and drive accordingly.

          Low is a lifestyle.

                The front I have as far in as possible so I can turn more before rubbing. Once I get the shorter tires on I'll make them fit better. I plan on swapping the rear lips to the front and getting 2.5's for the back eventually so they'd be 9.5's and 10.5's and sit more flush.
                I knew you'd have your shit figured out. It is unbelievably low. For me nothing beats Austin's old red e28 in terms of fitment and look, but there are a lot of personal variations. Fun to see where your car is going. (I like the fitment on the Bs from the couple pics you posted)

                And yeah the key to driving low is stiff springs... people complain on race's because of the variable spring rate allowing the car to flex lower I'm guessing.

                            Ignore the surface rust, I hate winter.



                            I don't have any turned pictures, it's not very far though. I can go full lock as long as I'm going forwards, but they start rubbing at about 100 degrees or steering movement.
