Are you made of glass ?

I am going to confess!! The first thing I did when I got my car was to drop it and add spacers. I just wanted it looking "right" in my eyes. And, I never ever regretted the mods. With proper alignment and some additional camber on the front I think it drives well.

I must be a "Ricer"....but restricted by budget!!

No, just old without a lot of padding on my rear end.... My wife weighs less than 100 lbs. So are you just too fat? It didn't affect me when I was young, by the way.... And there is a difference in ride quality between the PP and non-PP versions.

Is your wife by chance filled with feathers and often referred to as a waifu?

My wife was about 97lbs until she gave birth for the 4th time back in November. Now she's at 110lbs. People love to make nasty comments about her weight. Funny how it's not socially acceptable to make fun of fat people but totally acceptable to make fun of skinny people. Jealousy is all it is. I bet your wife is hot though. Hahaha

Besides a difference in ride, I can push the parked car and see it jiggle on the stock tires... Almost like pushing a Jeep! I can't do the same when the RE71R or SX2 are on.

At 5'3 175lbs I am boarder line obese according to BMI

Look the part, don't I?



I've ridden in a PP equipped car, I didn't think it was that much firmer
