Well lets see, my '48 Plymouth has been 3"off the ground at it's lowest point for the last 250,000 miles or so. I might add that's without any sort off hydros or air animatronics stuff. Oh, and all over the country too. I think more important than the ride height though is stance. The mini truck standard of everything just about to scrape, and the back end dragging doesn't do a thing for me. Mr.63- I was hoping that was a photoshop on that Plymouth, cause that thing is way too dumped to drive! It is possible though. Mine is the seriously dropped grey and black one running around Phoenix.
The majority here are sayin' the lower the better. But I agree with those who said it depends on the car, the style, the era. There was a time...mainly early '60s...when tail dragging customs had fallen out of favor, the nose-down attitude wasn't seen much yet, and a "jacked up" car sitting level was the coolest. Not "gasser high", and not stock. Just right. Extra long shackles showin' out back...they were part of the "look". Something like this. Brings back memories from when I was just a young kid, and yellin' to the driver to "Lay a patch!" Rump-rump-rump. Maaaaaan.
The only problem I'd have with that car is the snootch stains on the back seat...definitely cool. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
Well my son is 2 1/2 and it is his truck so I had to make it so he can get in right. But all the rest are just as low The only thing high in my shop is the wall art! Kevin LFD Inc.
I like just about anything "lowered" to an extent, but I never liked a car sitting flat on the ground. Some cars it makes them look odd and takes away from the overall look of the car. I also like the "tough" look... jacked up or gasser style.
