LMFAO

put it to you this way, my tc, turbo'd, on trd springs, 250whp would try to lift the front end when i stomped it on the highway. if from a dead stop and i launched it the ___ end would squat and any imperfection in the road such as a rock it would lift the front up and bounce it. i got scared and bought coilovers, they are a good fix, but they dont defy aerodynamics. there is a reason why cars have governors, engifineer said it best. i would never take a car more then maybe 10 to 15 mph over what its designed to do, its just insane. on top of that the tc allows too much air under the car, you definitely feel the front end start to rise, even on coilover at 120mph. you want to go 160, buy a car that is designed to go it so you dont kill yourself.
