That certainly is true of the cars that are “slammed”, and are not the “right stance” imho. But, US height is too high. So, getting the right height takes some knowledge and skill. I actually raised my dear old Ruby up from where I first lowered her, for this reason.

She was perfect here; street & track. Curb too.

I'm not exprienced enough/knowledgeable enough to achieve that, but it is my hope to try to understand how to get there.

Focusing on how the car "looks" at the curb, kind of misses the point of the performance/engineering that went into the car, imho.
