Like the ride height? PICTURES

This is with the new KW's at "racing height" there is room to have a "show" drop too.
I have over 450 miles with the car at this height and it rides better than all the IV-IX's I've setup/driven/ridden in.

How much did it cost to have it dropped, if you don't mind me asking? Do you think a regular Goodyear mechanic do a good job?

Just a drop can make that car look so much better. Nice. Put a set of badass wheels on there and you're set until more engine mods are available!

Nope, newbie, as it says under the pic. But, I do honestly want to know how much something like that would cost.

The car rides as good as a stock X at this ride height and better than any VIII/IX's out there. ime

The X chassis is so much more rigid than the older cars and the suspension redesign allow for the extra suspension travel (why the new X rides so high).

the X chassis runs consistently .6 Gee more than the older cars this will only get better with the chassis improvements we've made (it helps the older cars too)
