Impractical is the fun bit! Here's one of my vws (a caddy pickup) nothing can actually be put in the back now as it can cause arch catching

I always wanted to go for air ride on my camper so looks good when it needs too but you don't leave the flat 4 behind after a pothole.

That looks cool as fudge, low early bays rule, its on my list of 'to do' vehicles, having a break from dubs at present but definitley will be doing one again one time, you can see its been tubbed, thats a propa' job that is...
Loving the Caddy as well, is that a rabbit front grill/lights?
I guess its the same reason as fitting 37" tyres and a 5" lift, it looks cool as ****, you don't need to do it, it kills the driveability but you dont care because its the way you want it and thats all that matters!

100%, the lower the better personally, its all about the looks and low looks best especially on VW's...
These are a few of the ones I have done or been involved with:
My T25, these are the hardest to lower, its not that low looking but next to a standard one its about a 3" drop:
This is what happens when you are given a car for free, I got a set of coilovers and then modified them purely for the lowest possible stance, it gave 25mm of clearance room at the start of the sills
An old ratty T25 pickup we got ahold of:
And finally my mates split which is all adjustable but lives on the deck:

Its one of those things you either get or you don't, alot of people dont see it but me, well, put it this way, I lowered my works van by 80mm just because I can...
Heres one of my favorite lowered vehicles of all time:

Possibly for the same reason that when people see you driving your LR they only see a dirty old jeep...

Yeah it's a rabbit front, I just need a front bumper now but the shipping costs are rediculous. The westmoreland plant in America did a sportruck (gti ) edition of the caddy so I thought I'd try and recreate one only with a dirty diesel
