Same.  Lowering your car is practically the best thing to do for autox.
Lowering your center of gravity is gospel.  But there is such a thing as
'too much of a good thing being bad' if that is what you are referring to
when making handling worse.  Lower it too much and you'll take away from
that performance, but a 1.5-2'' reduction from stock, which is what everyone
does, is just unbeatable.

That's right, and I never thanked Mr. Mannix for that.  "Thanks, Mr. Mannix!!"
