I've been in cars on the bumpstops before which was approx 120mm its an awful ride, looks shit and destroys the handling.
Its not a wise idea in all honesty.

once you sit in the car you will probably find you will be on the stops anyway or put anything in the boot

90mm is a bit low imo, we will have to keep watchin out for your crash thread when it the handling goes tits up in the icey weather.

I love it when people lower their cars to the floor and then say it handles mint

My favourite is when they nail in between speed bumps only to spend 5 mintunes getting over one, I've even seen people get out of the car and guide the driver over the speed bump.
What a performance.

My personal favourite are people who don't understand the difference between handling and grip

Is one achieved by chopping a coil of your springs and the other by releasing some pressure out of your tyres?

Largely yes. Handling can be improved by reclining the seat back to the virtually flat possition

i've been in one too, my mate rich has aposi blue vts lowered 60mm at the front and 120mm at the back, and even had to change his exhaust to prevent it from making sparks on the road! and i agree the ride is HORRIBLE!!!

Maybe its the big wheels but that doesn't look as slanted as the ones I've been in.

you'll do it even quicker if you turn your fog lights on becasue everyone knows that adds and extra 5 bhp
