Still even if you sort all that out the ride is going to be harsh because you won't have any travel
Not suitable for british roads therefore crap

bet this handles sick
All that needs is a VW badge to complete the nonsense look

Again, done properly you'd have sorted a decent quantity of travel if doing it properly.
No, if it's on the deck and you have any decent amount of travel you'll just smash the underside up
So what if that cavalier is used competitively; suggesting it wouldn't be useable on the road is utter nonsense.
These car's do have suspension travel. In believe it or not, the same way every other cnut does the instant they slap coilovers on their car.
What the ignorant cannot grasp no matter how many times it's said or even shown is the entire body [amongst other components] is reengineered to grant compliance.
You think an F1 car doesn't have sufficient strength / stroke to ride up & over a curb?
A harsh ride as you put it Edd will never come from such developed cars because the shell has the strength to translate the impact through more of itself, than some standard car with harder suspension.
That over cambered merc is nothing like the car's i've shown.
Why would you smash the underside of your car up, if you've got the clearance to get over a speedbump?
Don't worry, Edd would invent use cases that would never happen to justify a point of view
Vx's and Elise's frequently run 90mm of ground clearence on the road with no issues, some even try 60mm but have to be coy about speed bumps but they understand the complications of doing so.
What people don't realise is that when you lower a car you alter the centre of gravity in relation to the roll centre. Past a point it actually creates more body roll and thats the reason you need to run stiffer springs. If you do the right changes to your suspension components to control the two centres you can run softer springs. I've just spent good money on my 200sx to do exactly this. I have my coilovers on softest setting and nothing crazy spring wise and theres very little roll but its compliant on bumps. In comparison to the breaker 200sx I bought that just had coilovers, good quality ones too, and slammed low but still not as low as mine - it drove crap!!
I'm on Broadghosts side but agree that for most road cars that are "slammed" theres very little thought to performance its more for looks, like stupid camber just for stance & lows.
Someone's been edjumacating themselves
When do I get to tear this 200sx apart anyway, you never call, you never write
