Default How muc is too much? The slamming controversy!

1"? 1.25"? More? Bone stock? What's the consensus of the line between "aesthetically pleasing" vs.greasy? Chime in...flame on! P.S. I have the opinion that my NM TT has too much air space between tire tops and fender bottoms.

Slamed to the ground is a cool look but huge money to do it.

1.5 inch drop is nice on all wheel sizes. gives it a little more sport look.

I think 1.25' is perfect. Eliminates the 4x4 action, gives it a sporty look and doesn't sacrefice too much cumfort in the ride...

I will when I get it back. Read this thread I posted. That's not my car but it also has HR coils with a 2" drop to give you an idea. It also explains why I can't post any pics right now. Long story short....busted axle, it's in the shop.

My car vibrated and shudder because of the axle...so kinda hard to tell. I took it to the shop and it's been there ever since. I should be getting it back Tues-Wed. The wheel well sits right above the tire looks good but I dont think of it as "slammed".I could still go over a speed bump (or up a driveway) with out driving over them sideways
