Default do you prefer standard springs or lowered

how do you like your springs ? standard standard height uprated or lowered there was a similar poll to this but it neglected to take into account standard height at all and i feel there are many of us who do not like the dramas associated with low springs i feel this will give a more accurate picture of whats out there

You can never be too low, lol. Nah, Super low is good, ultra is better, but not practical. If I wanted a 4wd, then stock height would be my pick.

Cars at standard height have no street cred.

Having had standard, then Low, then Superlow, SL by far looks the best. Nothing between low and SL in terms of handling, and I've had no dramas with scrapage.

Standard height for me, it already scrapes enough on driveways and speedbumps.

Give it up, don't drive like Eveil Knevil trying to build up speed when you come to a curb. You'd be suprised where I go when I need to. 99.5% of your time is spent on nice flat roads, why not enjoy it?

My XR8 looked like crap when I picked it up. I only have a few pics before it was lowered but it looks like a different car.
