Talking Guess Who's Lowered?

Guess who is now lowered

Its hard to tell that the car is lowered when you stare at it from the front and a little from the sides. But you can tell big time between the tire and fender. And obviously you can tell when your near the car to open your door cuz the roof is lowered. And i can especially tell when trying to enter and exit my damn driveway

Question......

You guys want to see pics or wait until saturday

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

If I lived closer, I would be there checking it out right now. I bet it handles 10 times better. Did you finish the brakes and torque down the nuts on the strut hats?

I just drove my car and

I didnt drive it to hard to much. I just drove it for like 20 minutes to get some food. Im not proud to say but, i wanted to test it out and... i did 80-85mph on a 40-45 turns and one S.

I havent really token it on a freeway cruise but what i did notice and i didnt like is i dont feel like im floating anymore

I can feel the streets pretty good now. First im on low profile tires and now the my car is lowered and stiffer suspension that i can feel all the little bumps. I dont like that part.

Hopefully the drive feel still feels smooth and like your stone off a joint and floating

So what's the update how does it ride? Because I spend nearly 3-4 hours on the road everyday, I am more a Touring type guy, not sure I would like the feeling the road thing. Like you I like the feel of my baby as she floats to and from Long Beach to Northridge.

Honestly....

I love the look, i love the handle, but i dont love the feel. I think the only way my car would feel like im floating again would be if i drove on brand new pavement with no bumps at all.
