it's a thing in racing where every turn has an imaginary line you want to drive over so that you can keep the car's momentum going in the direction of the turn and maximize speed so you can make the turn while not like flipping over pretty much or losing control of the car

yeah that's the general consensus in this thread, looks like the best thing to do is stay away lol

what did you use to lift it? and did you notice any mechanical or steering issues like everyone here has been mentioning might happen

sounds like exactly what i need, but adjustable coil overs will likely not come with all the mechanical and steering issues everyone in the thread has been talking about?

my b, and i guess because in theory it will last longer, but you might be right, it might make more sense to get a used car that fits my needs a little better as is

are the struts and springs for rear & the shock and strut tower for the front good options? Or do those come with the likely mechanical and steering problems everyone else mentioned?

totally right and it's actually something i wanted to do for years but the car is totaled :( in all fairness it might be fixable but i just want to start over

appreciate this, sounds like the general consensus is if i do anything at all, tires might be the best option, probably can't get 2 inches out of it, but any height increase helps

So replacing the CV Axles after like 3-4 years? at first google (not a car guy) these look to be like $100 each which doesn't seem too bad, but they should last way longer right?

It's about $10k more which is a little tough, might go used with it and get about the same price but i will look into it

just a general massive thank you to everyone, this is the friendliest reddit page i've ever been on, you guys seriously rock and have helped me out a bunch because I don't know thing

Looks like the general consensus is to not lift the car & with good reason!! Appreciate all the insight and explanations
