Car sits a lot lower now with Boost
Just was wondering how many other people have experienced this? My car sat on jack stand for about 3 months and now that I installed my Full-Race AC kit with a GT35r, the front of the car sits nearly a inch lower as far as I can tell.
The front of my car bottoms out a lot more than it used to. I figure there is another 60 lbs or so between the manifold, turbo, WG, dump tube, etc sitting right on the front of the car so it makes sense.
I was going to install my Tein S-tech lowering springs, but I'm afraid they aren't solid enough now. I guess I should save up and do a nice suspension like PIC or another Tein system.
Also, how many of you are still running your splash guard under the car? I had to cut mine up a lot to fit around charge pipes, etc, but I still managed to get it on pretty ghetto like.

Well I mean the stock ITR suspension is pretty good, the car still handles great, just sits a bit lower, I was surprised how much.

O sorry maybe I wasn't clear, the exhaust isn't bottoming out at all. Its just the front lip, but I am just saying the front of the car is like .5-1" lower than before, quite a drop when I haven't changed the suspension at all

you can also do a little weight reduction in the front end. anything you can relocate towards the back of the car the better. Like the battery
