On road, drop it
Off road, lift it (this is my major project I'm working on right now...basically a Baja race truck, just for fun...)

I am lowered and one pot hole or going into mcdonalds will make you bottom out where I live. Ergh. Has anyone noticed with the 6s sedan that the back end is aweful low before you drop it?

Please dont fight boys.....
I associate "slammed" with airbags. Dropped to the max, aka sitting on the grass, or a truck scraping its rocker panels on the pavement. Now, that's SLAMMED. Pebble pushin'

i had a Civic once that was literally 2 inches off the ground (ish) and speedbump were a bitch....i had to drive to the side of em, so only the one side of the car actaully went over them....and pulling into my driveway was a bitch too.....and i hated that scraping sound it made....you just knew something was being destroyed under your car

Yea slammed is typically associated with air bags or drastic drop in which rides have absolutely no wheel gap and are even sometimes "tucked". Anything where you can still see a wheel gap, even its only 1/2" is a mild drop. I have a 1.6" drop on my current car (focus), and anything above 2-2.3" would slam it and cause it to rub due to the offset and fender design. I live in Philly, PA and I woul not want anything more than a mild drop on my soon to come Mazda 3.
thats my thought
