No most of these cars do not use air ride, a lot of them are on coilovers, a lot of these coilover setups are modified with custom crazy spring rates... A lot of guys get custom skid plates made and have their suspension dialed in. CaniBeat really shows the best form of stanced cars IMHO. They show all aspects of slammed cars no matter what it is from a VIP car to Kei cars no matter if its tucked, poked etc... Before you go running your mouth and saying ignorant stuff you need to actually do your research. I have a very good friend here in st.louis who has been featured on a few stance sites with his rabbit on chrysler crossfire wheels who DD's his car. Its getting a Russian mag feature in 2 months.

oh btw the last pic the white Jetta thats in st.louis as well has been in Modified mag and a few vw magazines

I used to do this with my crx.. And you realize that some places are off limits to you and your car. Start avoiding speed bumps and if not, go over 1 tire at a time.. lol.. I like it. but it is not for everyone. Its like sushi, an aquired taste.

Some people cannot accept different opinions. Some people even can't read. So i am out of this thread. I don't need to call names on any person here. If people want to believe that this kind of lowered cars run fine and don't have any of the mentioned issues ... okay.

[puetato89]

theres is rubbing, minor though, not enough to worry about, the camber on some of these are ridiculous, but it still nothing harmful to the car, the worst thing that happens is scraps on motor, exhaust oil pans ect. but they put things on them to prevent damage like skid plates and they raise there motors..and btw opinions are opinions but facts are facts, coilovers are USUALLY used, but a FEW to use bags, coilovers actually have a purpose other than show..

jekqmb is 100% correct, seems like truths are only to those who choose to accept it

BTW It always amazed me how people with these cars manage to drive, what if you have to go into a parking lot and the entrance is raised or you have to climb the curb? I just dont get it

We bag it

[puetato89]

lol way to lighten the mood haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

No one ever said that there aren't issues with driving cars that are "hellaflush". Shoot, the saying goes "If you ain't rubbing, you ain't doing it right." Of course there is going to be rubbing, that's going to be unavoidable. And yes, like mentioned above, some people do break oil pans, but people know that prior to making their cars hellaflush. However, the cars are not undriveable.





PK, I've seen people back into driveways before to get up them, that plus major entrance angle.

My buddy Jake with that Rabbit i posted has 2 boards in the back he takes out and sets up to get in his driveway haha

HAHAHAHA

[Kaotic Lazagna]

OP, any plans on dumping it and possibly adding 5-10mm spacer up front?

[wildmongoose26]

There are plans for the front just not sure what yet.
Want a front lip on the car but dont like any of the lips available for the 09+ so i'm looking elsewhere. Also already got a quote to widen the front fenders by 2". Just kinda tossing ideas around to see where this will end up.


thanks for keeping it on topic! ha

And yes I rub. I dont rub so bad alone in the car, I rub worse with 2 people in the car and a little more with a full tank of gas. Ha

Have you tried looking overseas for a lip?

[puetato89]

how extreme to you want the front end? i know the front for the 09 up is difficult but have you thought about going 06-08 front end? you could always go c-one front

[cali yaris]

So i am out of this thread.

Good.

OP: GREAT job, looks good.

[wildmongoose26]

Thought about maybe looking at the Honda fit front lip. Its the same width just a matter of the same curve. But a little money to make it fit right would be different through and open up other ideas for other yaris owners as well
