y do americans PUT big ass rims on their cars and don't lower them!!! i dunno wat they think but it looks gay. check this diamante out im not dissing the car or the owner im just confused why you wouldnt lower it itll look much hotter this is the 2 DIamante ive seen like this and im sure theres more out there

Maybe he wants to ride in comfort, doesn't want to have to drive sideways up speed bumps, scrape his bumper on various things, replace his shocks, replace his springs, pay extra insurance, carries a lot of people or weight in his car regularly etc, maybe he is intending to lower it but just hasn't got around to it yet, just to name a few reasons :D

That's what a rear sway bar is for :D Some people (including myself) prefer to not feel as though they are experiencing an earthquake everytime they drive over a bumpy road! :bowrofl:

neither will a commodore :bowrofl:

But Commodores aren't in the 4WD class to begin with. They are in the "fully sick" class which don't require replacement springs or shocks. By cutting your springs, sticking your arm out the window and putting your hat on backwards it blocks out the earthquake.

Because Americans are obsessed with everything having to be bigger.

why have bling if it sits link a 4wd than itll look like your a broke ass who spent all your money on your rims and now can't afford to do anything else

Some people couldnt give a flying ****

What is the question? Why do Americans (two of them) not lower their car?
Or why do Americans take photos of their car after its been to the tyre store and before its been to the suspension shop?
Why do Americans only do one modification at a time? Instead of spending twice as much on their credit cards to upgrade springs and rims at the same time?

Maybe they have big gutters and dont like to lower their cars, maybe it's on airbags.

I say we write to the Americans and ask them... Actually I have an American friend, I just rang him and he said....

:upyours:

first of let me start by saying :"don't have a cow man"
secondly these fotos were taken with about 15 other fotos and they expressed no interest in lowereing their rides. and none have airbags! or HYDROS!
3rdly the question that is being asked is why this is the way they perform their mods cause its not just these cars that are the only ones its a hole society of them. hell have you seen the film clip to Ciara and Ludacris's song "OHH"?? theres and old school "low ryder" that has obviosly got no lowering t all and there is no airbags no hydros nuttin. so before you go raving on and trying to mess up sum ones curiosity sit bak chill and let others do sum queriing. hell i dnt go in2 ur threads and abuse your curiosity.

I dont have a problem with the question, its the unfounded generalisations of Americans. As cthulhu pointed out we have many people browsing the forums, including Diamante owners.

"There's no stupid questions... "

good question you should start your own thread and find out! :D

thats wat shock absorbers are for. :bowrofl:
sorry champ, i have no intention of getting involved in this thread, but your wrong with this answer, shocks are to 'dampen' spring oscilations. hence the name Dampner or shock 'absorber', its just many people don't actualy know what shocks realy do

I'll leave this locked for a while and then it will be deleted. All I can say is some of the comments I have ready are bloody disgraceful. We have International members here who really wont appreciate reading this. Have some respect.

If I see this sort of thing again small duration bans will apply.

Reigns and FRE5H. You are now on mod review.
