LOWEST 2nd Gen Roller EVER!!!

Does anyone know any information on this car at all, as far as suspension he is running? I am assuming it is a set of coil overs but damn that is low...

It's called shooting from an angle and a poorly paved driveway. Take a look and the amount of shadow on the wall and the size comparison to what seems to be a van.

I'm also in belief that it's an air-bag suspension setup.

im not sure but i think air bags suck for performance purposes... this is a full blown race(drift) car probably with coil overs that are ride hight adjustable. also the "ground effects" make the car appear to be lower, along with the levelness of the drive way.

That's pretty low, but I think the F20 powered FC from Hawaii is even lower.
There should be pics somewhere in here.
The whole suspensions was redone just to get the car lower.

LOL, you need to look into perspective when taking pictures through lenses. The hose looks big because it's dramatically closer to the lens (which is a curved piece of glass).

That's still too low to be drivable though. I guess each to his own.

Probably just the body kit and the big rims, maybe the coilovers are bottomed out too, that 240 in that pic looks lower than the fc from what i see.

I guess 'low and slow, that is the tempo' wouldn't apply here, eh?
