I just caint understand why folks lower there cars, it aint desined to be a lowrider and bounce and it sure dont improve th ride any.
Mine is lowered and doesn't "bounce like a lowrider", as neither do 95% of the lowered cars in here. It's fun carving the turns at the track with little body roll, thank you very much.

They definitely are.. I'm rolling lower than he is on 17s with proper tires, and obviously I have trouble some places, but it's not a big deal. The only big problem is that I can't go in to my best friends condo complex in the S anymore because of the new huge ass speed bumps they put in that I literally cannot drive over without scraping like crazy.

Because it looks better. Because it handles better. Because it DOES improve the ride, at least under my definition of "improvement". Because I'm not like you.

if you lower beyond a certain point it will not handle better. if your control arms are facing the sky it would not handle well. most people think the more slammed the better, not always true. it's not lowering that makes the car handle better necessarily, it's pretty much strictly for aesthetics.
