Lets add to this statement



You know your low when . . .



- You have to park far from the curb so you can open your doors

- when you can't go over any kind of speed bumps

- when you convert roadkill to 50 foot red smears on the pavement

- When getting in and out of your car works out your legs

- when you lose your car in the parking lot

When gravel on the road tears off your exhaust.

You need ramps for your ramps for your jack

Your roll center is so low that you're technically in orbit

Your wheels are scrubbing on the inside of the hood

You buy a ground effects car for its springs

When you suddenly get excess body roll. Congratulations, you've compromised the susp. geometry by dumping both roll centers below ground, and now need to compensate with mega-hard springs which destroy ride quality and overwork the tyres. BUT, you're low. Might as well go the "stance" route now, because you're going nowhere fast.
