We be slammin'...
I never understood why anyone would want to slam their car to such an extent that it's undriveable but obviously some guys do:
Don't worry about dying, worry about not living!

Remove wheels and leave in driveway. Just as useful. Lower. Less $,$$$. Way safer for all road users thus reducing the possibility of MX5s being targeted for defects.
UK since return: Standard NC2 (horrid), C200K, ND2 BBR, NC2 BBR200 (loved it), NC BBR300 (better than BARMY), V-Special, turbo NB8B (my 84th car)

I have never understood why people spend heaps of time and money getting way more power out of their cars... and yet drive it at 2/10ths.
They should just leave it stock, as they have no idea what to do with that power anyway. Way safer for all road users...

Re: We be slammin'...
you guys just don't get it.
Its all about how you stand by your car.
its not about driving it fast. Its about internetz & hard parking. In the old days we used to call these individuals by the name of ricers. But that's politically unacceptable in today's world.
get with the program.
these deranged points of view makes them a minority. Which actually gives them more rights in the real world.
Not sure where all this crap started. I';d be inclined to point fingers at Honda Forums. But then that's discriminating.
each to their own. waste of time & effort? not to them.

I thought that the OP was about suspension?
When you turn your car on, does it return the favour?

Re: We be slammin'...
I think you’ll find he’s making a parallel between two differing viewpoints of modification.
Personally I have never understood why people spend heaps of time on ‘spirited drives’... They should just go to a track as they have no idea what they’re doing with all that spirited driving. Way safer for all road users...

It's to gain attention.
That's why people get covered in tats and have stupid haircuts.

cars are multi-purpose.

What sort of undue stresses might that camber create?

We used to call them low riding punks.
I'd prefer them to stay in the car park.
Way safer for all road users.

That black one is just all wrong. I've always wondered how well the tyres stay on the rims. To me they look stupid. If you want art that extreme draw a picture.
