whats up guys, i had a question, i just got a 3s swap, and im thinkng about getting a suspension upgrade, the problem is along with that comes the lowering of the car most often. i really dont want to lower my car because I KNOW FOR A FACT that something bad will happen (my intercooler is about as low as my lip) i wish i could show you guys pics. what should i do? im tired of that horrible fender gap, an dmy car handles funny when going around turns (body roll)

any help would be appreciated!

You want power but have no money. That's a problem.

Cheap. Reliable. Fast. Pick two.

you need to upgrade everything else on that car..

you've put a beast under the hood, now the rest of the car can't compensate for the power you're putting out. it's borderline dangerous if you don't do anything about suspension, brakes, tires, etc.

don't worry so much about lowering the car, just worry about bringing the rest of the car up to spec. you've almost tripled the horsepower in the car, you might wanna play a little game of catch-up before you decide to do anything else to the motor.

strut bars, better brakes, better tires, lowering, and you'll be alright. it's time to start dumping money in to the rest of car so you'll have a nice well rounded ride, instead of just an ST chassis bolted to a 3sgte.

youre absolutely right i checked out jaws setup and it didnt seem that much lower. i may have to go with the teins. and i have a rotor upgrade but i will fous on the suspension first...in what order did you start upgrading the extras?
