OMG that must be a right pain in the arse to drive. I just can\'t understand why you would want to do that to a car.

I think mine are stretched just as much, really wish I could lower mine further, no chance with these uk roads and crap event locations!

Your wish is my command ;)

Used for drifting so definately dont think its air bags, justin pawlakes (sp) was sitting exactly the same without airbags aswell

I got one very similar but in orange!!!  I cant even get a jack undermine so i have to use a pair of ramps to even get some clearance, mine is not that low but i will take some more pics.  That black thing is just like a hoover, good job its just a drift car, wonder how it even goes on a trailer??

Nice Pete, I like the orange and the kit.

Thanks, for the road I think I am at the limit, I can see why they drop the cars like they do and the physics behind it all, you only have to look at a F1 car to see that.  For drifting though you do not reach the speeds that enable the car to be sucked down on the tarmac.  The drift car is mental and some seriously wide wheels.  I thought I was going wide with 10J but anything past 11J and .......... well,

Wow! Is that the first sighting of the orange beast, then, Pete? No wonder you\'re so excited about getting it finished off, it looks amazing! I knew it\'d have to be something a bit special to make the white one into your second-best car! :yes

I think that black one\'s gone a bit too far, tbh. It looks ok from three-quarter views, but the arches just look stupid from the side in relation to the wheels. Too much is sometimes, well, just too much! :Nono!

some great looking FC\'s.  THe suspension must be really hard on them to stop them hitting everything

Hmmm thats one thing I can decide for mine, black wheels, or white wheels, like that one though!
Title: Look how this sits!
Post by: B.Martin on November 10, 2008, 05:52:52 PM
Can i just say they are all stunning and noticably low, no 40mph over speed bumps on that suspention! That black one is especially nice and i\'m not to into the Cabs personally, not sure about the mirrors on the red one! And Neil IMO black wheels all the way!!!

Post by: pdtaylor18 on November 10, 2008, 06:18:58 PM
I agree, black is the new \'in\' colour for wheels, black for me on the orange FC. Black always gives a meaner stance and will compliment some of the colours out there.
