Why can't I snub my nose?
Hello,
There is obviously something wrong with me, because I cannot even break my car properly.
I went out today with the intent to snub the nose on my n/a down.
I pulled my car up to my shed, got flat up against it. And gave it some gas.
The shocks went down about 3/4 of the way. I decided to pull it back and see how it looked. And the shocks just pushed right back out.
So I tried again.... and again... and again. Does this ever work? Or am I just retarted?
Has anyone had this happen? Would I have to drill a hole in my shocks to make this work?
Im just confused.... what's new...
I actually did this till the tires spun a bit (on dirt).

Hmm....do a search on "snub nose." I think you actually have to take the front apart and drill em' or something. I don't think they will stay depressed by just pressin' in on them! As far as I can tell, they are doing their job as intended by staying out!

NO, no, no...... you almost got it right...... but next time try the same thing from a 20mph roll. I GUARANTEE after that, your bumper shocks WILL stay compressed.

Ohhh the Air Bags was a good catch.
He'll have to pull the fuse to keep them from deploying!
