Great question...
Making the kind of power I want out of this build is as important as being able to drive the car everyday, everywhere as I would if it was stock. I must admit that the car is no longer refined as it was when stock, it is a lot more aggressive now. Every engine and transmission mount was changed. This means that no initeria / power is lost by the soft pliable stock bushings, however you hear and feel all of the power coming out of the engine and transmission. It sounds truly amazing. It truly satisfies some sort of primevil desire for raw excitement.
After all of this, the car is very driveable everyday. The lower part of new front bumper has an extended lip so you have to be somewhat careful when you meet a deep depression or so. I drove the car from Chaguanas to Arima IDC last week and had absolutely no problems. Have driven the car in hours of traffic with absolutely zero problems as well. I did not compromise on the quality of any item purchased for the build and because of this, the car is truly a superior machine.
Completely satisfied so far. |

I think it too low for everyday driveing. At least a 4" from the ground should be good enough.
Other than that this car is timeless. |

For my everyday driving, I do not have a problem at all. It is low and it has to be for obvious reasons. Also we have compensated for the downforce at high speed. Because of the downforce created from the bumper , the front canards and the rear GT wing, the car will be forced downwards while driving at speed.
