I am no stranger to the TRD sticker effect on Tacos and how calling Bilstein shocks, a Pep Boys cosmetic chin guard, TRD air filter, stickers here and there a "TRD tuned suspension package" suddenly adds 3k to the price.
Also, lowering a car usually only adds cosmetic effect. Engineers have already optimized the suspension for the roll center, and messing with that just makes for amusing antics on the track.
If anything I'd like to see the clowned out "JDM Dureefto" cars take a spin against a bare bones stocker and see how badly they do.

Exactly my point. One good example is that on one of those japanese show, raced a stock sti impreza vs tuned sti with coilovers, and stock sti was able to beat the "tuned" sti flat out. That does to show that not-engineered parts are garbage.
