How? So low!!

Post by Forbes88 » Thu Dec 19, 2013 9:55 pm

Evening guys!

I'm just curious as to how people run there preludes so low? My 5th gen is low but not as low as some I've seen on here and the web!

Yet my subframe gouges the road if I hit a bump! It's annoying and obviously not good for the car so I'm going to raise it abit and change the wheels too.
