if you're going to sit behind that wheel and drive, be responsible. Don't be like an immature brat who's driving are controlled by his emotions or up to his whims and fancy. unbelievable idiocy.  laugh.gif
First of all I don't even know you, and second that alone qualify that you don't have the right to say i am immature brat let alone to say i am not responsible coz u don't know the way i drive. I may be whacking corner but i'll do it after considering it is safe to do so for me and other road users. A driver knows his machine's limit. and it is safe to say, I am that driver. yawn.gif

i agree with you, There is no point in lowering your car. People do it because they are in a car club/enthusiast and its proven by their fellow members. Its useless.. but somewhat ppl still do it. Its peer pressure. Someone does it, another person have to do it. Its life.
*
I'm not in a club, but i'm still looking at some good bilsteins or Teins.

Some people just want more out of a vehicle. Once you've driven a real enthusiast's vehicle, like 180SX, Evo, Skyline, WRX and so on, you'll know what i mean. Lowering a vehicle helps it's handling, responsiveness, over/understeer, at the expense of ride comfort.

It's yer choice, choose what you want.

Actually a lower car does help alot, but it's personal preference.

A lower centre of gravity means less skew on the body, less roll, simple physics.

A lower car also experiences less aerodynamic drag and more downforce, so you save money on petrol and get better grip. I think reputable spring manufacturers like Koni, Bilstein and Eibach Federn have all come to the same conclusion on this.

A lower vehicle also gives better steering feedback due to the inherent mechanical nature of steerings. You have less torsional loading as the distance between components decrease, not to mention less flex. 

Cars are made to satisfy economic requirements and not all are driver orientated, eg; Stiffening foam put into pillars, it makes the car body much more rigid and safer under high stress, but it's expensive and thus unimplemented on most production vehicles.

I know all that but the fact remains that I was pointing out to lowering normal sedan cars. To me it's your driving attitude that makes all the difference. You can Mod until your car is as low as it gets but if the original design is tall like Nissan Selphy it still defeat the purpose. Try and read back from page 1 to get what I mean.

I drive a Skyline 4 door sedan. Pretty much a normal car. I just decided, for the driving i like, lowering it would give me better results.

Lower it however you like, it's up to you to decide on what you want with your vehicle.

The EVO is a 4 door sedan, so is the Subaru WRX. They're rally cars, but they've done pretty well on the tarmac track with modifications.

lol is funny.

unknown fella, u just stubborn hahaa.

how much u spend and how much quality u get.

even sedan car or real sport car cost a different certain amount with different look and quality. even real expensive car or sport car also can bring u to dead or still sucks then normal sedan car compare to corner. u just never knew. look more to the topgear. sometimes they did compare those good car with cheap cars. and the result is there. like they compare evo 9 with family 7 seater cars.

but take a look a cheap proton cost 10K with cheap 2nd hand car? right?

so 10k can u earn in one day? might be u can, but for other poor malaysian people are NOT! so dont blame on those wanna have cool stuff at lease on their cheap cars.

for lowered the car purpose i think alot of people has reply . simple meaning better cornering and else no need me to explain it because already explained. and more lowered like crazy lowered. that u can blame and flame on those dumb, cuz that is really dont improve anything.

for those expensive car sedan like camry and other etc whatever u mention they have a right basic setup on their car. but still there have alot of after market parts to make ur car even more better. performance and handling. reason that u buy that car not Rm10, so once u buy it at lease u drive for a years or 3 years or more? crossing finger maybe a years u already dead or else. so whatever can save a little life and possible so mod for it. if u think u are drive quite fast, and needed. the driving style that suit u that u think.

unknown warrior maybe u just buy the car and drive with the car and spoil and get a new car like that person. so if u dont like just do what u like to do. shoot at the forum and msn.

save ur this energy of stubborn and save our malaysian to one unite better.

happy merdeka ~ smile.gif

It's basically a normal 4 door sedan car. Designed to carry 5 people, a saloon infact.

There'a Wagon called the Stagea with the RB series of engines.

What is high/sports performance anyways? When you can turn a car into that with the addition of a simple turbo kit.

Hi there you seem like a worthy opponent. Tell me, instead of telling me your problem or mine, can you tell me why you lower your car?
