I was talking about properly lowered setups being benificial to handling.

Why do you people take snaps at VLHERO all the time? The man is just having a say. Anyway so do King Ultra Lows keep the height legal or not? (with 17s)

i had a 2 1/2" exhaustand it used to rub on the diff and the panhard rod. so got an adjustable panhard rod and that stopped that. but it still rubbed on the diff. but i had chopped v8 fronts. ultra rears and no rubbers on top and that sat ***ing sik and rode good. only hit bum stops on the back if there was a person in there. also if u get bigger rims they make ur car sit higher. 15's have to much tyre wall and they flex heaps which makes ur car sit lower to the ground
