    Yeah lowering cars doesn't mean better handling people keep thinking that aesthetically you may like the looks of a lower car better but it really jacks up your car overall throws the whole dynamic off also when you're running a car with a plastic oil pan? Lowering the car may not be a good idea. To each their own 😎

    The way you let the ac condenser just wing it on the ground like that.... I guess if you can throw it around like that I don't have to worry too much about it shifting... lol Also I have seen if you place each part up starting at the radiator you don't have to manhandle the whole 3 stack at once.
