Why Lowering Springs Are Beneficial Towards The Car
Playing car games on the computer is significantly less expensive than driving for real (obvious), however, what most people don't think about is the massive time commitment that real racing demands. For example, prior to the race weekend, I would typically need to spend at least 2 nights in the shop preparing the car for the weekend's racing. This would include checking the toe, alignment, and weight distribution. I'd also have to check all the fluids, do a nut and bolt check, and (possibly) change the tires or brake pads. If I had damage from the previous race, ad at least two more days. If you have a life outside of racing, this can be quite a problem, let me tell you! With a NASCAR game on your computer, you have none of this hassle.

This kind of fixing actually needs the aid of a wheel alignment rack along with other special tools which don't have at home. So you might as well leave it to the pros to get the job done right.
When you go to the doctor and they take an X-Ray and it shows degeneration you'll be given the diagnosis of arthritis. But here is where I choose to get off the misdiagnosis carousel. When you see the degeneration or arthritis in your lower back (or any other joint) the doctor will say, "Your problem is due to the arthritis in your lower back." I'm here to tell you that this is wrong. Now it's true that you may have arthritis in your lower back but please understand this is where the damage ENDED UP, not where it BEGAN! Because your muscles couldn't properly absorb the force that force continued to go into joint and over time it began to breakdown.
Now image your ride, let's say its a 1994 Honda Civic. Minus better tires and wheels, at stock ride height, it would probably roll similar to the Explorer, not flip but you would have to slow down. Lower that same Civic using Adjustable Coilovers, 3 inches lower, and try that horseshoe bend. It will act more like the Vette.
Manual transmissions don't use transmission fluid... they use a 90W gear oil which generally doesn't need to be changed very often. But keep your clutch adjusted properly with a little bit of freeplay at the top, and don't "ride the clutch". Be very careful about resting your foot on the clutch pedal as the weight of the foot can partially depress the pedal, and start to reach the edge of engagement, and this will wear out your clutch's throw-out bearing very quickly.

I know some enthusiasts out there will disagree with me, but that's OK. On the other hand, I have used several front-wheel drive cars that run with the best of them.
Suspension dampers Don't think dealers can sell you add-ons when you don't need them. Most car buyers consider that rust-proofing, paint protection, stain proofing the fabric and VIN etching can be cheaply done at the dealer's place only. But, you can get all the additional work done from your mechanic or you can even do it on your own at a much lesser price.
Not any type of weather condition can scare me any more. Not the sun, rain, sleet, snow, nor wind, even dust and bird muck I'm not afraid of anymore. I know that everything can try as much a they want but will be unable to penetrate and get through to my car.
