How low can some people go?

Spotted this today

Click image to enlarge

Had I not seen the guys park up and go into a shop, I would have assumed the car had suffered some sort of suspension failure and was abandoned

I would be very interested in seeing this car tackle speed humps. And why would you do that sort of thing?

Nice Bentley behind it though

That's high in the world of modified cars now, most run air suspension so speed bumps are not an issue.

If that's high I can't imagine what low would be. There's hardly any gap between the front bumper and the road, as can be seen at the right edge of the photo. Current: Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription Pro PHEV with some optionals on top

Air suspension allows you to do it, for example on the a6 c7 they are getting a few inch of the wheel rim under the arch never mind the tyres.

Then a press of a button and the ride height can be back to normal.

You can reprogram the range rover suspension to lower it too, i reprogrammed the full fats to lower it but the sports suspension is hard enough.

I don't think its an age think as there are many people in the scene that are of the older end.

I'm sure plenty of people would say why do people bother putting up with paying all that money for a Land Rover that breaks down all the time or constant parts replacing

I accept people enjoy doing different hobbies etc.

I had aftermarket Air Suspension fitted to my 1st car

There wasn't many cars with it before but it's massive now. I think every Audi/WV in the 'scene' has it fitted!
