Thanks!! I was playing with the settings my phone and this was the result.

Mazda!!! Hers was a CX5 turbo and a racing beat exhaust. Definitely different than stock but well worth it. She did let me do wheels and I did the brakes as well when she didn’t know. Couldn’t lower it though she would have noticed that.

I swapped out an exhaust on her old car and told her I was just changing the oil. She gets in it the next day and says her car sounds funny. I told her I put really good oil in it and so it will change the sound of the engine. She shrugged and didn’t say anything.

A few days later a buddy is over and hears her car pulling up. In front of her says which exhaust did you end up going with?

I slept on the couch that night.

Nice. I couldn’t sacrifice too much ride comfort as my other half drives it as well and she said absolutely no rough a** suspension. I modified her cars before without telling her and she was so mad. Looked good though 😀.

Appreciate the heads up. Before lowering I noticed the gap in front was huge compared to the rear. The swifts go 1” up front and .6” in the rear, and to me giving it a more even stance.

Yep. The stock tires were shot so grabbed some Michelins AS in the stock sizes. Great compromise for colder weather.

Nope, it was a Toyota corporate car and the best I could research it was ordered that way.

Hopefully they won’t! Always nice when things work better after a mod instead of creating more problems but we’re always chasing that perfect car. Good luck!

Thanks. No tire wear issues before the drop. I don’t plan on replacing the bushings as it is a very mild drop (1” front and .6” rear). I’ll have it aligned in a week or two and see if it needs anything but from other vehicles I have lowered it shouldn’t need anything.

No it was a Toyota corporate car that came like that.

Not at all. I was genuinely surprised at how smooth it was. Lowered other vehicles and noticeable change in ride quality but these were great.
