There is a group of young guys around here who have a 'gang' of lowered cars.

If one degree of negative camber helps- 10 degrees should be better? Right?

Well, anyways, they have a volvo wagon, and some BMW 3 series and a bunch of import stuff. Some older subie wagons. Cool stuff.

Even if lowering the car to bottom the struts out on the strut towers isn't my thing, I get it, and it makes me smile. I give them a big smile and thumbs up when I'm in my p-car. I've even hunted down the volvo guy and talked shop with him-

Usually I like to approach them in my wagons, or my custom bicycle builds.
Said in a David Attenborough voice.

but- watching these cars ride bottomed out makes me a little sad. I can almost see the splndles bending and shock towers cracking as they waddle down the road. I couldn't see myself buying one of these cars used from them, even the volvo wagon. They really don't track too well over the simplest manhole cover.

That said, I love their enthusiasm, and there are some other import tuners around who will hang a gawdawful turbo off the front of anything, and I love their creations!
