i dunno sean they can work, well to a point, i had my car lowered quite considerably up until recently enough, by my calculations about 50-55mm and didnt really have any problems, could still manage any speed bumps i tackled, my dirt lane to my house, the only real problem was parking facing curbs, the ride wasn't even that terrible, have STi springs on a set of billies now and i can honestly say my reaction to first driving on the STi's was "god these are stiff"
never rubbed could carry a full car of people, no grinding bottoming out, so i would say it was 90% practical the -10% would be the parking thing
dont get me wrong, there are serious handling implications ( that were seriously highlighted when i put normal suspension on again) but i most cars that get "stanced" arent drivers cars, like alot of the slammed Imprezas you see are American, America doesnt have corners
they still have some grunt and yet to the people who's opinions they give a rats clackers about, look cool. isnt that what its about? pleasing yourself and getting the "props" from your peers and mates?
i think that MX5 looks hella cool i have to say, and with the correct geometry mods, would prob handle better than its OE height brothers too, that latter point is very rarely done i know i didn't.
