Rolocut Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 I really don't understand the whole air ride thing going that low with low pro tires. I understand year one with air ride with correct ride height and the crazy performance but that just doesn't look good.

Yeahloh95 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 i might airride my 12 and its because i want to drive the car , if you have a car that looks right and has the right stance, then you have to be worried to drive it for fear of bottoming out on something or scraping, with air ride you air up for the drive and have no worries .

Ferocious Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 The rims bother me more than the fact that it's a bagged purpose built car. It doesn't look too bad, just needs rims that not every coyote owner has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted February 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Just so everyone knows, he plans on dragging it, auto-x, and road course-ing it when he can. He's got full exhaust including long tubes, cold air, and a lund racing tune. This car rips. His controller has 12 different presets. He's got 4 programmed for driving and laid out for when he's parked and shows, and is going to use the other 8 for racing applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look too bad, just needs rims that not every coyote owner has. I'd agree with you on that. He's working on buying a new house and is having another child so going all out with wheels wasn't his main concern. I'm sure he'll get something else This was his old subaru he traded in for the boss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95opal Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Is that rear quarter sitting on the tire?My take on bags... there great for taking pics of your car while sitting still but you still have to raise it to drive it. Now that's a lot of work and money for some cool pictures.... Im a firm static drop guy so to me bags are a waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Serious question: What happens when the "wheel nobody else has" becomes the "wheel everyone else has"? Will everyone just resort back to what was originally considered the "wheel everyone else has"? See now having the "wheel everyone else has" is actually having the "wheel nobody else has".

I just don't think ANYTHING with the wheels tucked up in the fenders looks good. My car isn't low to look cool. I have no use for a mustang on 20 inch wheels and rubber bands. You obviously have different wants and uses with your car, or old car I should say. Nothing wrong with that. I love Dan's car, but I would have never put air ride on it, but, it's his car to do whatever he wishes. He is obviously more geared towards show, while I'm more like Rolocut and care more about performance, but looking as nice as possible while meeting those goals.. I don't drive my car much, but when I do, it's driven really hard.. If I want to cruise low and slow on 20's, I'll drive my LS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that other people don't share your tastes. That does not make them small mindedWhat is a "six four hoppin"? Is it "Hopping"? I am not quite sure, I would have to say I'm confused. I don't see the need to be so defensive. Some people like muscle car looks and some people like import looks. Quite simply there's a happy medium between the two. I guess I am saying, air bags are okay, on certain cars, with a correct tire/rim ratio, but usually looks more like a car that should be on pimp my ride. I guess I'm too small minded at my young hip age of 23 to desire or consider the look. I'm all for unique and different, just sometimes it does not work...

95riosnake Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I think people make the mistake of assuming the sole reason someone puts bags on a car is to hard park the car on its nuts. This is no doubt one thing that you have the option to do with bags, but the real value in them, for me at least, is to be able to raise the car. Damn near every parking lot entrance in Pittsburgh is about a 45 degree angle, and speed bumps are littered all over the place. I have fixed my side skirts about 10 times now and I've had enough...dragging my exhaust on the ground on a regular basis is also something I am done with. Mind you, this is a problem I had even at stock ride height with side exhaust. One option would be to ditch the side exhaust, but such a notion is about as appealing as losing my left nut, so that's a no-go. Rocking a 4x4 stance is also not an option... I raised it half an inch after I put in the IRS and that extra height and wheel gap bothered me like you wouldn't believe. I am personally eagerly looking forward to the day when I'm staring down some parking lot entrance from hell, then I merely press a button and raise the car up to cruise right in.
