Agreed. Lowered type 2s look awful. All of them, all years (maybe the longnosed t$s excepted, but they're not real Type 2s). They were designed for big ground clearance, and look peculiar without it. I bet lowered ones have handling problems too (shortened suspension travel, loss of traction in bends due to inner tires unloading). |
