Any love for Hi-Riders?

[Mister 4x4]

I don't care for the stock look of ours cars, with the front higher than the rear. I prefer the front down ass up look! my car has drop shackles in the rear. I haven't done anything to the stance since I've owned it. I like the stance, that's why I'm leery of replacing all the springs and coils. Don't want to lose the look I have. Just personal preference. I like the back up with fat tires. I have since installed wider tires on mine but here's a couple pics.

See - I don't need stripes and spoilers on mine... I can just stare at your car all day and get my fix. ::thumb::

No Man - you see, I said that because the picture was upside-down and Australias in the Southern Hemisph... meh - nevermind. :whistling:

I got your excellent joke. Just the UK dry humour.

Not a fan. I like the way mine sat, below. I just finished off a S0T coil over install and my initial setting has the front dropped about 1/2" from that shown. I have 4 1/2 mid-eyes to install that should drop the rear some and believe I will land right where I wanted to.

Or

Maybe from Oz but that's a real Hi Rider!

Mark, Thanks for turning that over for me, tried for 20 mins to figure that out, couldn't make it work

I remembered loving that rake, but I also remember how terrible the ride was. Turned the back window into a sunroof.

Would love to find that car again.

Can't say these car don't look cool old school.

I got it. It was a pic taking from a U.S. satellite...they all come out upside-down.

My ride as a "high rider" back in the day. No air shocks on this car, however.

Just before dropping off to paint.

I'd jack mine up some but then I'd have to buy bigger tires and I just bought these last summer. Without the big fats in the back it just doesn't look right all jacked with no rubber.

Now those are freaken awesome! ::thumb::

Way bigger tires than mine, though. I only have 295s:

I'm with you on the look, the ass should be up a little more on an American Muscle car. I went the easy route and put air shocks on (yeah I know) to get the extra few inches I wanted. By the way the movie brought back flash backs and smiles of my days cruising in the 70's and 80's in muscle cars on California streets. Getting the ass up high, the widest rear tires possible and loudest exhausts was the thing to do. Now days, I'm a lot tamer.

Hi Jim, your car looks right, I'd say perfect. Shackles / air shocks maybe dirty words but they sure make our cars look great!!
