I guess I just can’t understand why someone would buy a car, then spend a bunch of money to make it ride _and_ handle worse than it did off the showroom floor. I think cars are meant to be driven. I can understand making a car ride softer in trade for worse handling, or giving it a stiff enough suspension to rattle out fillings in the name of cornering, but ruining both just seems stupid.

Yay while lowering the center of gravity, you managed to ruin the roll centers and you have no compression left in your suspension. And as for wheel fitment: If you can’t fit a given wheel at the stock camber settings without running a stretched tire, you should probably get different wheels.

I will say though, at least that guy didn’t rust the hood on that MS3.
