Visible lowering?

[phillookswasted]

I wonder in GT5 will we visibly see a car being lower once we have applied suspension changes. I remember in previous games (GT1, GT2 + GT3?) you could see the wheels in the arches and sills closer to the deck.

Yea GT4 was the same, it was fun slamming cars out and giving them huge camber!

Just for looks, or maybe im thinking of GT3?

Either way, im sure it will be apparent in gt5, along with a whole load of new visual customisation options 👍

It's in GT5P too (visual), just with the quick tune it seems that many cars don't go to the extremes.

especially the 07 Subaru Impreza. If you lower it to -45/-45 and you do a lap, then watch the replay, it doesnt look that much different as when its stock.

Where as for example the M3 Coupe, when you max lower it, you can see the different ride high very well!

Noticed that too. But especially the camber...

+1 And the - camber look soo Sweet on my FD

 

[phillookswasted]

I must trot off downstairs and try this out, I can honestly say I've never noticed the lowering effect on GT5P.

M3 at the ready

yes exactly, the camber!! but and i ask you what a FD is?

[Paulie]

Am I the only one who thinks this thread is completely pointless? You could see visible lowering in GT4 and GT5, why on Earth would anyone think it might be different?

FD is an newer version Mazda RX7,the earlier version is FC.

 

[barryl85]

this is what i love about gran turismo, i think remembering back the 206 RC was one of the best cars to slam! Wheels would tuck up inside the arches.

And its also what bugs me on Forza, you lower the car and it looks great but as soon as you leave the tuning section it looks raised again, its pathetic.

Even though slamming a car does nothing for handling (in most cases) it looks great.

FD is, FD3S in full, the "factory code" (forgot the exact term for this) for Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A. Just like AE86 stands for Toyota Sprinter Trueno.

hahaha where did you get that idea from?

Lowering the ride height of a car has a very big effect on the cars handling! When you lower the ride height, you lower the center of mass = much more precise handling.

And enlighten me (in most cases).

I said slamming not lowering.

Try reading, is that enough enlightenment?

When you slam a car it actually has a negative affect on the cars handling, maybe you didnt know but you can lower a car too much. Run along now....

 

[Zimmerd]

Haha indeed, lowering the car is one of the first things I do.. who doesn't

But of course, not till bottom

I think he means "Slamming" the car (car is pretty much on the bump stops) not lowering, which is fine for the centre of gravity but you have no suspension travel and the car bottoms out on bumps and curbs. Lowering is good but slamming usually isn't, as you know there is a sweet spot denpending on where you tune for.

Well english is not his first language

I'm sure he does, especially considering he races cars proffessionally...

Thanks Jay V

[JDMKING13]

i know what you meant bro. My friends and i use the word slamming all the time when talking about cars with low stance. 👍

 

[mk2escort]

Sometimes I build cars in GT4 for fun and I always lower em and sometimes put mad camber on them. My Mk1 Golf was mental lol.

 

[suzq044]

I always lower my cars; but not to the point they go through the outer-skin of the car.. that was annoying (in photomode)

I found myself always building Old school japanese Drift car's.... like the nissan bluebird.

Maybe this time they will give us a 2 door Datsun 510, as they look awesome on the ground.

 

[Kryz11]

I hope when you are in TUNE, you see your car.. So if you lower it, you see it LIVE.

gunmetal Silver Toyota cresida slammed on some Green yokohama's With full negative camber and toe,= Sex period.

Well it doesnt say anywhere his 1st language is not english, and i only responded the way i did as i felt he jumped down my throat with his reply making out i was an Idiot.

Chris

No hard feelings, As above i only replied in the same manner you did.

 

[RAVELLRON]

you can see it in gt5p but in the menu where you can look the car in background the suspension remain stock...hope they will fix it in full release

so do you usually change your tires one time on year...

 

[GTracerRens]

I can remember the Chrysler 300 c in GT4. It's ride height was too big, so I changed it to a few cm from the ground and it became a wonderful car!

 

[chepe371]

in GT4 who remembers that oldsmibile or buick "lowrider" style whip, slam that, buy all options, suit it with the rare gold 144 spokes for that west coast muscle

 

[djcorrosive]

yeah i agree i really hope you will be able to slam the cars just for looks!! I notice that on some cars now u can do it, specially if u give it full on camber its slightly noticeable in replays, but hope to see it properly!!
