Default NEW to the BAY

My job just set me here from Las Vegas. I have a lowered Bmw M3 and want to get a S2000. i have been to serramonte, Grace and mike Harvey. But my main concern is that once i get it i want it slammed . I like fast cars and i like them really low to the ground. back home i had a really good pal do all my work, since i am new i would like to get some help on how much it cost to lower the S and where to do it. i know u have the shop thread but i want to hear more from you members. who with in the forum has had their cars lowered and happy with the service.

SF is very different from Las Vegas. If you want to drive a slammed car in SF then good luck to ya. I've lived here for 25 years and know many many places where you would not be able to take the S if it were slammed. As for good shops I would PM its2krazy.

I'm slammed, you can get around, you just can't go everywhere in the city.

my car is really slammed as well.. and yes las vegas is way different than sf. However, if you know your car well and most importantly the streets in sf then it is totally fine. And yes, a slam car is a plus in my book as well.

thanks for all the imput... i have been driving hella low for a while so i think i can handle it.. but as for sf the city is too big and easy to get lost in. so far i stay away from there.

but thanks for the info on its2krazy

Check out the green Acura TL at Mike Harvey Honda.. he's slammed to the ground with about an inch of ground clearance at the most. He drives in the city all the time.

FYI, there's a silver AP1 at Mike Harvey Acura that you might be interested in.

why slam it? If you like fast cars you might look into other options..... this car has little, if any power.
