he is less than moderately lowered... a very, very mild drop... not anywhere near scraping even with 4 fat chicks in the back... the sticker basically doesn’t make sense - or at the very least is enough to get made fun of.



...how do you know my car isnt dropped...i wouldnt get the sticker if it wasnt

It's actually a pretty good idea... if you want better acceleration without spending tons of money, upgrade the final drive. It won't exactly be cheap, but it's a great gain for the price. It just won't make power...

Suspension can be fairly cheap, and being able to hold higher speeds through turns means you can drive faster... power means nothing if you can't control it.

What's wrong with fat chicks? They need some lovin every now and then too.

1) I've done those things long ago.

2) nothing in your post is relevant to my post you are replying to... re-read what I replied to and re-read your response to me...
(Edit) - I reference the "NA mods on a G35 are worthless" comment.
