I like semi-stanced/lowered cars. Kinda like these.

Should I turn in my Oppo card now?

As long as it isn’t excessive.

So do I. I think it gives the car more presence and makes it look poised. But only if the wheel is within the confines of the wheelarch. Once the wheel starts dipping beyond the wheelarch, then we’ve got a problem...

You can keep your oppo card, we real oppos got our platinum oppo cards a couple months ago anyway.

Gotta love Jalopnik Gold™ membership.

The discounts on brown paint and diesel are amazing.

Nothing wrong with those, the wheels on that blue Audi are terrible though.

Now this is gross.

I’d love to see that 350Z go over a speed bump.

At least they can laugh about it.

Only if they’re on adjustable airbags.

People who cut the springs (uuugh) or install lowering springs on a $60,000 audi deserve to be shot.

It would be funny to watch it at an autocross.

One of my all-time favorites.

I’ve always wondered why you wouldn’t buy air suspension if you can afford these types of cars.

I'm noticing a theme of Audi's and Wagons...

I like cars like that too. At that point, there can be actual benefits too.

Yes.

My A4 is lowered significantly, but not stanced.

Handling, I assume?

Don’t judge me.

I’ve noticed that often they’re parental hand me downs that are only 3-4 years old so the kids aren’t able to convince their parents to let them blow $10,000 on an airbag system.

It's the excessive camber that is the part I don't like. Really low is ok.

True. Too much camber is bad.

Kyle D. > MLGCarGuy 06/07/2015 at 17:00

Definitely handling. Arguably mileage as well because there is less friction at low speeds.

Well, I like Audi’s and Wagons and semi- slammed as well, so its ok.

EXCLUDING the Allroad. I’m judging on that one.

But Allroad = fender flares.
