Your car does not look too low for towing... But it could be the pictures. If you ditched the factory lip for an aftermarket, I could totally see that happening. I've never heard of getting pulled over for low ride height either.

I am only -1.2f & -.9r with do-luck lip. I do scrape a fair amount.

Smike I hope you don't mind but I'm putting this in my Sig. By far the funniest $#!t I've seen on this site.

But, not tired of using a high-performance machine as a rolling roadblock?

So i guess my question is how do you guys like your height and what is the best setting?
Starting point, within ~.5-.75" relative to stock. Good luck.

Dude what part of Canada are you in? Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal? I can't believe they made you tow the car home. Nothing to do.

Winnipeg Manitoba, yes the cops here are too scared to even patrol the "dangerous" part of the city so we have a police force that is a vehicle inspection unit more than anything. It sucks and is a ****ty place to have a modified car. That is the kind of stuff they will do here.

Welcome to the winnipeg scene! lol "Where Cruising is a Crime"

Just dont drive it... simple as that. I dont know if you've seen my car but its decently low (not slammed by any means) and yes you will have troubles in this city. Don't worry about the tow jobs in the city, close friends with the hook guys and they can tow LOWW. I dont know why i'm posting this because you are 10 minutes away..

Thanks for the Brides!

I'm pretty low on kw v3s with swift spring upgrade. Car handels good enough for me and looks better with no wheel gap. Towing is a ***** though but I run the toxic fab bumper quick disconnect. If I ever need a tow now, I can remove the bumper in seconds. Plus it makes it easier to work on the font end

I am low enough to get rid of wheel gap but high enough my lip doesn't scrape. Don't listen to the moderator nerds, all they do is hate on everyone that lowers THEIR cars. They act so superior it's funny!

But look, even if you don't track your car, save up some money for quality coilovers so your ride doesn't go to **** and get a toxic fab bumper disconnect kit just incase you ever need a tow.

Been slammed on 18x10's with a retarded offset of 0, voltex wide rear, and Evo Dave fender kit since late 2011 and not regretting one bit!


By the way...smike, fj, don't want to hear your BS so don't even start. KTHNXBI

Is this really necessary? Really. Here I am, responding when I wasn't planning to, in hopes of preventing this sort of thing from happening again, when I could be contemplating something as crucial as a contrast-colored engine washer package to floss my style.

LOL.

Its the internets. If you have bene here long enough to ask FJF and Smike to not comment then you should also know that they are probably going to ridicule you further.
