Slammed???

What is the technical definition of a SLAMMED car?

Does the car have to be lowered a certain amount? Is it how low the car is off of the ground?

How many of you have what one would call a slammed car?

I call my car slammed, dumped, lowered, etc... It just depends who I'm describing it to, and what term I feel like calling it. But to me personally, I would call slammed or dumped, a car that is essentially tucked, in other words, it's wheels are into the wheel wells, if not right at the line of them.

My car has about "1/8 wheel gap right now, where as it used to have roughly "2 of gap.

I don't know of a technical definition of slammed, but I would define it as a car that has been lowered as low as possible for looks only, no care about the handleing.

Here is my car at ride height and pics of it pancaked. I usually say a car is slammed if its almost all the way to the ground, but everyone has they're own opinion and what they think.
