Looks good. I also like the wagon wheels. Stripped and polished they look even better.

I've heard horror stories about lowering the stock suspension and then putting it on the track. I was very pleased with my base suspension this season with the weekend warrior mentality. If you do this (which I think looks AMAZING by the way ), does it change handling or rebound/dampening/swaybar abilities?

Guess I am asking those that have done it before and then tried on a track.


Great job on the lowering. Looks really trick. BTW, wagons look great on there. The car is what it is (awesome) and its not trying to be anything else
