Only part I don’t like about being lowered is scraping. It’s cool to have an easy car to drive that’s stock height. Car renderings are slammed and hellaflush, because it looks way more sexy. Most car designers sketch cars like that. When the car gets produced, the minimum clearance needs to be met for safety and performance. This is where the car loses it’s sleek, sexy look. So people modify them to look slammed and flush like original sketches. The trick is to make it look and perform better at the same time. This car is stock height. That curb must be a standard height because my car barely clears it. I really hate the scrape noise. Driving the 240, I scraped the bottom all the time. I miss that car!
