dropped cars and towing
has anyone been towed with a lowered car? i dont know if you would need a flat bed truck or not to not damage the car. or how far can you drop if you had to be towed without a flat bed? and what about body kits, are they in risk of being damaged if too low?

Hahaha. I woke up at my gf's house in the middle of the night to the sound of my alarm. I ran outside to see that this dude was prepping it to get towed. I gave him $30 and he went away. Thank god. He was fucking prepping it to be towed from the front 2 tires, meaning my fucking parking breaks would have bleed to shit.

I got a flatbed when I got into an accident. Safer than towing.

i too got a flatbed. It seems to be the happening thing to do. I think that if the towing company damages your bodykit, they will tell you tough.

I think most towing companies have flatbeds now, I've been towed a few times and I always get a flatbed.

What I've always wondered, is how do you jack your car up like if you have a body kit on it or if its lowered a lot? All I have to do is hit a switch or two and bam, my car is up as high as I need it to be. But I was thinking about selling my cylinders and just getting some nice coilovers. I'm puzzled as to how you would change your oil and shit though.

Is this what everyone does, or is this something that you thought of and rigged up yourself? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm serious. Thanks man.
