Is this a reasonable warning?              That sounds fair to me. I've driven a "lowered" car before, and the       ride is not pleasant. I've seen people take a torch to coil springs to       lower them before. That weakens the metal. Chopping the springs really       makes for a bad ride. Stock setup for me, please.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
