I'm not knockin bags, I'm just saying its less respectable in the sense that you don't HAVE TO drive that height. Obviously no one knows what you do when you're rollin daily, but I find it hard to believe that you're gonna drag your car over every Driveway, bump, or imperfection you come across if you're on bags. Us on coils have no choice.

the setup I am running with isn't as convenient as most people's are, its not going to be super quick for me to just bump everything up. Plus as weird as this sounds, I enjoy scraping. When I had my old MK3 GTI I was less than a half inch off the ground at the oil pan and I enjoyed scraping because it made me feel something that I guess I cant find words to explain. But I didn't enjoy going down a road that was like pot hole city and ripping a 4" hole into my oil pan even though I was only doing about 10 mph.

I'm not gonna say I don't respect dudes who go crazy low on bags but if you don't drive that low, what's the point?

haha. i handled static for a couple years.
its not that i dont love rollin around slammed on coils, but it becomes a problem when i break my $800 lip a few times.
id rather roll around knowing that i wont have to worry about breaking shit and still having the slammed look. its cheating, but its not a competition. we arent getting graded. for me, slammed is slammed. its just a look. when i made it a lifestyle i spended more money than i needed to.
trust me, i LOVE watching peoples faces as i scrape up inclines, its just not worth it to me anymore. for some people, its worth it.
