I was waiting for the BS flag But I'm serious. It DID get that high and it sounded like my car was going to break.

I am almost certain the vehicle has a speed governer on it, making it literally impossible for your car to exceed a certain speed.

Unless your speedo is incorrectly calibrated, it is not possible to get to 140.

Please, correct me if I am wrong. I personaly have never driven above 115 in my LS, so I would not know.

Just a question... But is your cluster in mph or km/h?

Maybe it's not calibrated...dunno. If I remember correctly though I did have this chip in there that gave it like 9 extra HP or something.

It's in MPH.

ok ok enough...

lets get back to suspension... or perhaps we should start another thread...

Tell us what you want from the car when you lower it.
Do you want a stiff riding car?
Do you want to lower it for cosmetic reasons?
Do you want to lower it for better handling?

Good idea, chica!

Can I choose Option D? All of the above?.

I'd say better handling if I only had to choose one.

Okay I kinda skimmed this thread.

First, having an amp and subs with only stock speakers isn't really doing the system justice. Its only as strong as its weakest piece. If you upgrade the speakers you will notice a world of difference.

And second. Does anyone have a definition of RICE? Or at least a humourous website that tries to define it? Some people consider mods rice period, other say bad mods or crappy installed mods are rice. Some people think no power and all looks is rice. So I'm kinda in the dark with this whole RICE thing.

EDIT: Maybe they were going 140Km/h ? I do that all the time
