I didn’t think there was an allowance on exactly how low you can go. Some hot rods/mini trucks are SUPER low…they never seem to get in much trouble. ---

My coupe is 2in 3/4" off the ground on the front lip…I’ve had cops POUR over the car trying to give me tickets, and they didn’t say anything. Tow truck drivers hate me though. ---

I’m pretty sure stock ride height on my G is lower than that. Even one finger looks like shit. Ideal ride height for looks is tire perfectly level with wheel well, rolled fenders so that you don’t damage the tire. ---
