Re: SCARRRYY!!!!
Question: You're saying your suspension tune lowered your rise 3.25"?
How do you deal with things like, oh, say... Speedbumps in parking

See, my point here is that i want to tune my GLX up a bit, and lower it
a bit... BUt i still want to use it for country driving. What's the
happy medium here?
