    is it lowered, things get worse when you lower it, the bigger the rims, the smaller the sidewall, the worse the ride gets.

    I love cars slammed on rims with low profile tyres, makes the car bounce over everything, and seems like a race car, gotta love that
    I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.

    About that bad I pulled the 17's off my VP as soon as I got it. With 15's it's a great car with 17's it's junk, big difference

    yea thats what i fort.just felt so weird being the first time and all.

    the shocks are stuffed which prob doesnt help, two of the rims r buckled (there on the back), ill have to get them fixed up aswell. Coz sometimes wen i hit a bump the steering wheel drives itself..
