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

 

my 6 sport. is stock height
and ive bottomed out so many times. (not cuz of the roads,
cuz the speedbulges in shoppin centers is insane) [:@]

 

alright, just to clear this up people...
this car is slammed..
just look at how high the front bumper of exhaust is from the ground...like, 2 inches....

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.

 

this is totally unrelated to what you are discussing but i really need some feedback...i am looking at buying a mazda 2000 Protege with 125000 miles on it, what is the average engine life and transmission life on this vehicle provided the oil and other fluids were changed regularly? i don't want to buy a lemon, so any feedback would be good.
