It is possible to got lower. I'm at 2" and I love it. I'm on 17" rims now and have no problems. If you go for the kit, IMO wait to get the whole thing. Good luck and happy modding!

u must have a lot of money. chill out and take it slow. if you don't want performance don't get the suspension because those are performance parts first and foremost. 35% is not dark enough imo.

how come u guys practicing drive stick on a max? why not practice on a crappy car first so your tranny and engine don't get worn as fast. some advice please learn how to rev match, i just can't stand people that just down shift with out doin that.

Go rent a car and practice on that

Get a y-pipe first since it's the best mod you can do. If you drive regularly and not floor it everytime, you'll see better gas mileage so it'll pay for itself eventually from the gas savings.

Since you got a 97, get clear corners and make your tail lights red/clear. You can debadge your trunk if you want. Then get the tint job and suspension and rims and body kit.
