This is a little note to those annoying people who understand nothing about suspension geometry…
Dear Stance Idiots,
No, I will not be “slamming” my S2000. Ever. She’s much happier having some usable fender gap so that her fenders aren’t interfering with her tires when we’re turning. We had an absolute blast driving a twisty road with a bunch of Porsches last summer and we plan on doing it again sometime.
Of course, if you still think I should, how would YOU like it if I repeatedly slammed your face into pavement wherever we went? Every time you saw a speed bump, looked at my driveway the wrong way or found out that nothing really cares about what you think is “ill” (a phrase I’m afraid I just don’t get anyhow) enough to try and be low car friendly and instead smashed your face into a wall? No?
You sure??
Then don’t suggest I ask my car to smash her beautiful face into pavement just so she can look pretty in a few photos. We’d rather go autocrossing, thank you.
Cheers!
Meg & her S2000
P.S. When we do get coil overs, we plan on putting them to use on the track. Despite our few inches of ground clearance, we’re still quite low relatively speaking.
Excellent post, I own a VW and am constantly being told to lower it. Thank you for venting my frustrations.
Awwww, thanks. ^_^ Don’t ever give in if it’s not something you want to do — It’s easier for people who don’t have to live with the low car in question to say, “Lower!” than it is for those of us who want somewhat practical daily drivers. (Or, my preference, somewhat streetable track monsters.
)
