I noticed after looking threw all the Pictures of EBI there sure are a lot of Slammed Cars some are so Low I dont know how they can Drive them, the streets there are not that great over there I know some have air Bags But is there a reason? for wanting the car So Low? here are two pictures of Calif Convertible's the yellow one use to belong to me but it was never That Low and the other is a New Breed Convertible

My sway bar is different i think, with it itīs not ridable (>4cm from sway bar to flour) or are you guys drive without sway bars?
Our streets in austria arenīt so bad, but not as good to drive like on pic !

Hey John, we should warn you, there's a weight limit on the ship. All those accessories could drag a ship to the bottom... |

As you all know ive now got Rich's R (german folks club) old brown 50 rag and its not as low as i expected, but i cant help wonder how it would handle with 2332 twin 48 IDA, raised a couple of slpines in the rear and a original set of BRMS on it............................ Just thinking, told you i had a boring weekend.

My oval is not low at all. Front is lowered just so the wheel matches the fender opening, rear is actually a little higher than original to get the big wheels out of the fenders. "Cause it looks so cool".. My bus isn't lowered at all. That's mainly because it suits the "1970 look" it has, but also because all buses nowadays scrape the ground and have narrowed beams (not saying they aren't cool) Oval: http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php?topic=2033.msg25147#msg25147 |

IT WAS SLAMMED MORE IN THE FRONT RUSSELL, WE RAISED THE FRONT SO EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK DURING SHIPPING,, JUST GET UNDER THERE AND LOWER IT BACK DOWN LIKE A REAL VW SHOULD BE..  |

I Hate Ground Scrapers they ride bad, handle crappy ,and look stupid but that look dose go with all the roof rack,ice chest carring VW's with all the chrome trim, we should invent a New Name for those cars we can call them the J.C. Whittney Cal Looks or call them closet Cars if accessories can be hung on a VW they Will Be. Just My 2 Cents HERE is a Picture of what the Cal Look is About there is no other way to Build a Cal Look

I like them low but they have to be on a rake. They don't look right level.

Yeah they do. Just not any of the German Folks crew.
All you need is a good rubber rake.
