Low is slow:cheers:

Heat the plastic inner guard then tap it around with a dead blow, its easy to shape. Lip your guard with dollys.

low is not always slow, but maybe in this instance it is

is it professionally lowered?? if not have the wheels been balanced and aligned?

cause if it is that low that it is rubbing the inside of the tyre might wear away and then blow out and then cause lots of trouble - accidents, dead people, manslaughter charges etc (very very nasty stuff)

its pretty low..my front gtr bar is sitting 72mm off the ground. the wheels dont show any camber i have only dropped it 1.5 inches i have GAB coilovers and just wound them down a bit..the inner plastic just scrubs on the top of the tire when i hit bumps on the road. and when i i go around a corner and hang the arse out (powerslide) the wheel just rubs on the actual gaurd itself i think due to bodyroll....to eliminate all of this i would it be recommended to just rais it .5 inches, and buy a bigger front sway bar to stop the body roll, and mould the plastics up a bit or just rip it out...in affect of ripping of the plastics will this mean when rocks flick up under the gaurds can they dent the actual gaurds???

I know a lot of cars not running the inner guards.. with wide body kits etc.

Stone etc dont dent the guards.. but you need to make sure the wiring is sealed well and there are no holes the enter the inside of the car... the water flicking off the wheels gets in even the smallest hole.

that prob good idea Waldo

raise it half an inch and chuck in a chunky sway bar and that should fix it up

[=premo=]

ive ripped the plastic off my car, no probs, just used a bit of tit enlarger around and gaps, holes. the only down side is u can see the ground from the front of the car through the front bar.

Too low is slow.

By removing the inner guards panels you have noticeably increased the aerodynamic drag, thereby lowered the top speed, reduced the acceleration rate and increased the fuel consumption.

Shall I get into how much power you have lost in excessive drive shaft angles? Nah, it's not realy necessary because everyone knows that:cheers:

I can't see you going fast speeds/hr on undullating semi-country road with 19's and 7cm off the ground.. Like the other night stuck behind some clown with a u-beaut body kit.. he was holding everybody up because of being worried about his precious bodykit dangling cm off the ground. What is the point of having a fast car that you can't push because you are worried about the bodykit scraping the ground, or can barely corner properly. All he did was shit people off.

So ok, all its good for is tough laps.. fullsic.. cops love lappers too
