Re: finally upgraded shocks struts and more
yeah i heard about that... ive also heard that some people didnt notice a difference.... i dont mind it sitting higher because right now my exhuast scrapes the littlest of speed bumps and i have to put a thin board underneath the car to get into my driveway and into the garage so i wont damage my exhuast.. i really hate that.... so 1 or 2 inches higher would be just fine for me....
