Post by zer0 »

try and see the ground on the left hand side of your car when driving a tight track especially when you are passenger side down wards on a side slope.
then you will realise lowering tour seat aint such a good idea :P

i cant see the ground on the left hand side in my stock seating, i cant ever see it if im steering with my feet and trying to hang my head out the passenger window... i would need a complex system of mirrors set up to do such a task, its just not possible!!!


anyway, thats what unsuspecting passengers are for!
