[QUOTE="shovel, post: 1526590, member: 29855"] If you lower it on stock geometry you will get more body roll and worse handling because your roll center will drop more than double the amount you lower it. I know that when I say that it pisses people off but geometry isn't real concerned about feelings. You can use spindles to lower it without geometric compromises. You can lower it with tall ball joints for only half of the geometric compromises. You can get used to the car being good at stock height because it is. CAI and throttle body are money down the toilet. If you want the single port 3.8 to make power you have to actually address the bottlenecks which aren't the air filter assembly and aren't the throttle body. True dual exhaust is the lowest hanging fruit by far. Axle gears go a long way, with an automatic you can do 3.45 or 3.73 in the 7.5" if you want a good driver. You can go deeper but compromises suck and it's not just about highway RPM. The lowest effort rear end solution is just get a new edge GT or Mach 1 axle, it'll have LSD and 3.27 or 3.55 gears already and it's 1.5" wider than your SN95 axle. After that, porting your upper and lower manifold is the next low hanging fruit without changing heads, then cam... or if you prefer just go to split port heads and a split port manifold. V6's coupes didn't come with rear sway bars but you can just bolt any GT rear sway in there. Best to do that after getting a LSD because a rear sway bar with an open diff will have you peglegging twice as much as you already do. [/QUOTE]
