yeah i was thinking about it but my brother and his friend were telling me that it is bad for other parts of your suspension and all this other stuff blah blah so i decided id just wait cause my dad wont let me lower it anyways.

just bought a midpipe friday though and i am will be ATTEMPTING to install later today, not really sure how it is going to work out though.

Lowering the car in any form is "bad" for the other parts of the suspension lol.

Why are you so insistent on modding the car if your "dad won't let you?" He is going to know and basically all the money you put into modding the car is wasted.

edit: Also, why are you so insistent on saying "my dad won't me?" We don't care.

Yeah I saw your car near the exit/entrance to the Taco Cabana area. The cops stopped people from entering that side right before the crazy idiots
