Daytime Pics of the Slammed 09 5door

Too low in stock form? Are you kidding?
This car feels unstable taking any kind of sharp turn, quick lane change or hell even and long sweeping turn there is tons of body roll.
Lowering it helped alot with the stiffer springs and the stiffer shocks and struts (adjustable)
But being that low in the pics was all in good fun. Not that low for some daily driving.

A sway bar addresses that problem and does a pretty good job of curing it. With a short wheelbase car (I had an xA that was lowered), the ride just plain stinks over bumps. IMO, the best handling (and riding) cars are BMW's. A big part of their suspension magic isn't complex suspension (they use macpherson struts just like any cheap car) or super stiff springs. . . it's all about sway bars (and not strut bars, but SWAY bars).
