which one is "lower"?

oBnoXious_XB

the 2nd one

hahajoey

yes the red thing has more "clearance" but it's "lower"..
its a more aggressive drop.

when u "LOWER" a car, u gauge it by how many inches you drop correct? does a lowering spring set or coilover ever measure by ground clearance??

i think ob's xb's is pretty bad rocking kenstyle w/ wheels..
but the thing is, his attitude is all jacked..

i thought dodge neons were too funny to pass up.

its stock height.. except it has some front bumper
bodykit facsia thing.. OMG, i think it scrapes at stock height.
lol.. ill snag a picture and post it..

my 2 cents: The apex of fender to center of wheel would the true measurment of drop. This would eliminate the difference in tire height. It's just kinda hard to measure it accurately.

^^HMM.. i guees measure from the apex to the center of the wheel....plus a pic won't hurt either....

If you want to do it the way they do in truck shows you have two options. One is to the window sill on the door. (Guys with body drops and sections usually win these.) Or you can measure to the top of the roof. (Chop tops can beat all even if they aren't actually lowest this way.)

Another way to measure is through the legal definition in California. It is the lowest metal part of a vehicle. Plastic doesn't count. CHP even has special tools they make that measure your sidewall and then slide under your car to see if it hits anything. This is how they check to make sure you have legal clearance.

You know I almost mentioned your xB Randode, but I figured guys in this thread would just start whining about it not being on coil-overs.

oBnoXious_XB
