[8D] thats my thought

I concur!

Fo Sure!!

On road, drop it

Off road, lift it (this is my major project I'm working on right now...basically a Baja race truck, just for fun...)

You gotta DUMP what you got

I'd like lower my car but i am so damn close to bottoming out here in PA just with my exhaust alone that I can't risk it.... damn Pennsylvania! [:@]

come to my area and then you can complain, but anyway lower is nice, but slammed is not so great

what city do you live in, I have a russian friend named serge down there

I am lowered and one pot hole or going into mcdonalds will make you bottom out where I live. Ergh. Has anyone noticed with the 6s sedan that the back end is aweful low before you drop it?

my ride is slammed...no problems bottoming out in Pennsylvania.

sorry your not slammed, just nicely lowered

had the coils down the whole way...

still not slammed, but then again you dont want to be

I scrape everyday on the speedbump about 30 feet away from my house.

I am an idiot and I can not read

how tall is the speed bump, and fast do you go over it?

I lowered my 6 and it looks tight, especially with my rims.

yeah it looks nice, but your screwed if you hit a speed bump! Good luck all!

Please dont fight boys.....

I associate "slammed" with airbags. Dropped to the max, aka sitting on the grass, or a truck scraping its rocker panels on the pavement. Now, that's SLAMMED. Pebble pushin'

i had a Civic once that was literally 2 inches off the ground (ish) and speedbump were a bitch....i had to drive to the side of em, so only the one side of the car actaully went over them....and pulling into my driveway was a bitch too.....and i hated that scraping sound it made....you just knew something was being destroyed under your car

my 6 sport. is stock height
and ive bottomed out so many times. (not cuz of the roads,
cuz the speedbulges in shoppin centers is insane) [:@]

alright, just to clear this up people...
this car is slammed..
just look at how high the front bumper of exhaust is from the ground...like, 2 inches....

Yea slammed is typically associated with air bags or drastic drop in which rides have absolutely no wheel gap and are even sometimes "tucked". Anything where you can still see a wheel gap, even its only 1/2" is a mild drop. I have a 1.6" drop on my current car (focus), and anything above 2-2.3" would slam it and cause it to rub due to the offset and fender design. I live in Philly, PA and I woul not want anything more than a mild drop on my soon to come Mazda 3.

this is totally unrelated to what you are discussing but i really need some feedback...i am looking at buying a mazda 2000 Protege with 125000 miles on it, what is the average engine life and transmission life on this vehicle provided the oil and other fluids were changed regularly? i don't want to buy a lemon, so any feedback would be good.
