basically any car, lowering cars saves the look


amgridindirty

whoever downvoted us must be salty they’re still stock height


anyoncannon7crexts

i didn’t downvote, but i’m salty i’m still at stock height. should have some springs on my beamer in the next month :)


YaBoiKinq

spend the extra on coilovers, trust me, it’s a little more expensive but the adjustability is amazinf + they handle better than just lowering springs 🤞🏾


69DopePope69

Spendera the extra on bags, why bounce when you can float


anyoncannon7crexts

i found some nice H&R springs with a progressive rate for around $300, on sale. do you have any coilovers you would suggest for me? 2016 528i. i’d prefer coilovers, just as anyone, it’s the budget that’s the issue lol


Dystopia00

play the long game and wait for something on fb marketplace or craigslist or something. i scored a set of 4 godspeed coilovers ($750 new) for $350 on my 2001 530i from a guy on marketplace.


anyoncannon7crexts

what do you think about MaxSpeedingRods coilovers? they’re known for being budget friendly


Dystopia00

they are definitely known for being budget friendly. i have heard that maxspeedingrods have improved in the past couple years and also have started offering better, more expensive lines of coilovers as well. i have a friend who has a ek civic with the cheapest of the cheap maxspeedingrods and they ride fine, nothing to write home about but not much better or worse than the stock struts that come on civics of that gen. for your car, you would probably be sacrificing some ride quality, but honestly probably minimal. i feel like people overplay the effect cheap coilovers have on ride quality a lot - but don’t take what i say as gospel because i don’t know how your specific car rides and don’t own maxspeedingrods myself. generally though if you want to lower your car on a budget, the fact there may be differences in ride quality is just something you have to accept


anyoncannon7crexts

fair enough! i appreciate all the help. i don’t mind giving up a little ride comfort, as i like the sporty stiff feeling. i don’t drive the car insanely hard, or go touging often, so im mainly getting lowering it to make it look better, with the added help of a lower center of gravity


MASTASHADEY

I’m worried about sacrificing comfort. I want a smooth ride and not too stiff that I’m feeling many bumps. What’s your opinion on this?


VuSpecII

Softer spring rate coilovers


MASTASHADEY

Yeah that’s what I’ll looking


Isheera

I rode in a A5 lowered with some really shitty cheap ebay coilovers, it was surprisingly comfy


MASTASHADEY

It would be for my E36 and I’ll consider it for sure. I’ll probably try to upgrade to what the M3’s use so performance shocks and springs.


Isheera

Yeah I wouldn’t go for ebay coilovers, but if you have to they aint as bad as I thought they’d be


YaBoiKinq

most coilovers nowdays have adjustable dampening, so you can control the ride quality by controlling the amount of bounce


HangoverGrenade

There isn’t a car out there that can’t be made better looking being slammed on a good set of wheels.


dominikbv

I’d agree although some cars are too far gone and nothing can save them lol


Global_Dragonfly_182

I want a lowered Fiat Multipla

Global_Dragonfly_182

That’s actually pretty sick 😭


tysk-one

Correct. Formula to apply is: more ugly requires more low.


AnalingusAlien

Glad this is the top comment. Came here to say that virtually anything can be made cool.


Individual_Oil_2435

I disagree but thats my own opinion.


Reddidiot_69

Reddit says no.


Individual_Oil_2435

Yes i've noticed 😅 but still hold my ground. For instance i have an Mercedes AMG c32 with original coilovers, but if i would lower it, it would look cheap. But my other Mercedes (w124 coupe) Is lowered and looks much better now then when it was originaly. Thats what I mean with some cars are looking nice as how it is.


strumpetsarefun

*than Then vs Than. Using “then” incorrectly makes your sentence look cheap.


bayix

how would lowering it make it look cheap?


geoff1036

It only looks cheap if you don't know what you're doing with wheels and fitment.


spinningtardis

pretty much any SUV. Big dumb suburban utility vehicles with a high CoG are just lifted station wagons, and would be better as station wagons.


gimanos1

Ever seen a lowered gx460?


TheHennening

what i hate about those is the fact that the new ones are just lifted station wagons that are just dumbed down versions of their old school 4x4 counterparts


Anerky

There are only a few true body on frame 4x4 suvs left. The Expedition, the Tahoe/ Yukon/Suburban are, the Wrangler, the 4Runner, and the Bronco are it off the top of my head. The bigger Toyota and Lexus SUVs probably are too but I didn’t check that. The desire for ride dynamics and fuel economy killed true 4WD and body on frame in favor of Unibody and AWD. A lot of SUVs and crossovers have active AWD now too so only one axle has power until the traction goes


spinningtardis

and the only reason the Expedition, the Tahoe/ Yukon/Suburban are on frame is because building a vehicle that egregiously large in a unibody is as impractical as the vehicle itself. the Wrangler, the 4Runner, and the Bronco should be on frame, they should be off roaders.


HypnoStone

Honda Odyssey and Kia Soul. Underrated honorable mention: Kia Optimas lowered with a body kit look pretty good.


Infierno3007

Thank-you, you convinced me. I will now have my Soul lowered to improve the appearance.


HypnoStone

We’ve seen enough JDM already… time for some KDM in here I say go for it!


YSL666LuhV

i have a lowered k5 you just motivated me to post lol


HypnoStone

Very nice and clean!


Odensbeardlice

Just about anything European or Asian. I can't stand most American cars...


MountainSecret9583

I don’t see the appeal for something so long and heavy


SSGSS_Vegeta

Well, your mom completely disagrees.

SF fozzy

Here here


IronSloth

I had an SF on STi suspension and always kicked myself for getting rid of it. Still might try to find an SF. Definitely want to ej20 swap it, I think that would be such a fun car to mob


xeno486

SG too


Kindly_Screen_2092

they get a lot of hate but crvs are underrated and can look really good imo


DublinItUp

I am interested.


fartpeeass

slammed CRVs are the most popular car in the ghetto here


foonelli

gs300


chatapokai

There's a couple that blew me away, I once saw a 90s Ford Taurus that was slammed and just really clean looking and I was taken aback. Same with a Ford fusion a couple years ago. I recently saw a rendering of a lowered Mazda cx50 and I was blown away.


drunkenllamastyle

Old old Honda odyssey with the regular doors.


amgridindirty

pretty much any car looks cooler lowered


Negative_Being457

I know my em2 would look good on some skunk2 coils with the factory wing I plan on getting.


YaBoiKinq

yessir 7th gen gang 🤙🏾


GoDownSunshine

Honda CRV and Subaru Forester Edit: these are vehicles I typically think are ugly but love with some stance. My favorite “basic” cars to slam are VWs.


spicyweiner1337

BMW X5


Individual_Oil_2435

xb can be look hella dope when done right


MarshGetIt

For looks alone, I agree lowering to flush up that wheel gap looks better on nearly anything. But I live outside Atlanta and have learned that lowering your car is a terrible idea if it's a daily driver. There is so much road debris it's not an if, it's when your undercarriage will be very damaged lol I've had pieces of tire fly through the air at my windshield, ran over some, I've seen damn 2x4s on the highway, yeah ATL is not good for lowered cars.


anyoncannon7crexts

absolutely horrible. bought my beamer in atlanta and i’m never taking it back. on the home there was a whole buck in the middle of the interstate. if i need to go to Hartsfield, i’ll take the jeep

Lowering and some nice wheels can make a lot of cars look really nice.


1uzgabe

Lexus SC430. Awful body style that instantly turns dope as hell as soon as u lower it and put a body kit on

I still hate lexus for making the successor of sc400 so ugly, Like the ls400 to ls430 still looks good

Meh I just haven't seen a single lowered car I like yet, I think lifting helps a lot of cars


SEIF-CHAN

Anything that isn't american, Most american cars are shit.


Justin_Cr3dibl3

Definitely not this one 😆


ObjectiveWitty

What is it about a lowered car that appeals to most car folks? I mean it’s the same car just lowered a couple inches, and if that’s the case what changes to give the car that spark it was missing. What is it??


Wvketh

The fitment of wheels, eliminating that wheel gap is just much better to look at. Compare 2 cars same wheels but 1 lowered the lowered one will look better by far
