your eyes are wrong. It's called proper suspension geometry. It's achieved when all the arms are parallel with the ground. Theres a reason the pros aren't slammed..
Even my ride height is lower than it should be, but I'm not terribly low so I'd rather sacrifice some handling for looks. If my car was slammed, it'd handle much worse. Not to mention scrape everywhere.

When it comes to my car, I try to keep an even balance of function = form

The difference here is a pro track car vs. a street car...

If I had a dedicated track car, I would probably still have it low low and figure out how to fix the geometry some other way. But my car, for example, is just a street car, so it fulfills its function entirely.

Thats cool man, more power to you for do something we all love that takes more effort from you.

I remember years ago there was a Japanese guy in SuperStreet with a Chaser built by WELD, and he was in a wheel chair for life from a motorcycle accident, ALL HANDCONTROLS.
