I've asked a similar question in another threads: how do you drive this car? Looks like it has 1/4" of travel before the fender hits the tire and maybe 1.5" of travel before rim hits fender. Is there 0" of travel in this car? And it can't be hydraulics since the top picture is of the car in motion...
The OP's car looks driveable. |

Come on this is literally undriveable. The wheels have no room for any movement except rotation. Even if his suspension has zero travel this wouldn't work while driving. You can't drive with just a few millimetres space.

I think it's called "natural fender roll method" - let the tires do the work.

I've driven cars like this and it just needs a very very stiff suspension. Yes it will rub on occasion but it is completely dependent on what type of suspension you are running and the stretch on the tire.

wow, i just now noticed the other comments on this, hellaflush style has been out for years, at least here on orlando, its mostly done on rwd cars for drifting, at least thats what most my friends use it for... its done with coilovers because of drop and stiffness... if you really don't believe that these cars drive how they are just go to a drift event.... and also if you really just come on here to put down the car just keep it to yourself or do constructive criticism... i personally find it annoying and offensive when people put down other peoples cars, (cause its not your car...) just saying... please now back on topic!!!
and like most that respected, sorry for the thread jacking! |

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.

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 |
