Im running a sprung suspension about as low as possible. I manage to get around town white knuckled with my front bodywork about 2 inches from the asphalt(I don't recommend this to everyone, you have to look far ahead and not follow very close). My bodywork is far from being started so I don't mind the mild scraping now and then, but I have plans on modifying the chin to rectify my situation down the road.
I would think here in the Northeast.......Bags would be a must. My driveway has a steep approach, so I am thinking bags is the only way to get to the garage. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
Mine is a static drop for now. Front fenders are less than 4 inches off the ground. This is usually not a problem except for a few speed bumps. I would like to get it lower, but this will require bags to be driveable and I am willing to install them when the budget allows.
looking into my 48 Plymouth i found to lower the front anywhere close to what i wanted would be way to expensive. drop uprights and coils aren't cheap for a mopar, so the way i see it is why not bags to get as low as i want and be able to go everywhere i need to. washington isn't flat! that being said you guys keep saying "done properly" bags not touching anything.... what else?
For me I'd have to say springs. The only way I'd go with bags is if I could afford to have them professionally installed I've seen too many butchered bag installations.
theres a guy with a BRIGHT yellow chevy custom ( 51 or 52 ? ) in maryland that is slammed without bags. he said he scrapes like hell everywhere, just added some plates in areas underneath. but he still drives the hell out of it on shit maryland roads
Im thinking about bags just in the back of the wifes car. Its a 54 cadillac hearse an like 22feet long the whole sideways speed bump crossing manuver does not work in a car that long! also gets hung up on spots the other lowered cars drive right over
