hmm.....wonder if i should lower my truck...i already take corners at 40...maybe i can get it up to 45.

remember....tires can do 3 thinks....provide grip to get going, provide grip to turn, and provide grip to break...


remember break late, coast the apex....gas on exit.

i need to work on the heal toe

you use your right foot to break and to tap the gas to rev match on downshifts.

i drove that way all the time in my last car. it was an auto and didn't have much room for my big feet.....but if you are going to do this...make sure you don't drag your brakes. that's a rat fuck move

tought to left foot break with a manual transmission.

I suck at heal-toe. Rev matching is super fun though.

Definitely agree with this ! My car is lowered too, and I love driving it, possibly because I love driving. It's actually the same car but in Nightfire red (burgundy) and white. It changes a lot to drive a car that's lowered - I feel I get a faster response when taking turns and I don't enjoy driving a 'regular' car quite the same. I even 'lowered' the driver's seat as well (and the steering wheel accordingly), because I like to 'feel' the road when I'm driving.

Cool man. Yea I noticed sharper turn in after I lowered my car. Is yours the newer model?

i suck at it as well....could be pedal location...so i just get it in the gear i want before breaking or while i'm in the rolling portion of the corner.

Not exactly my style. The only truck i somewhat like lowered is an s10

My car is lowered too, but not by much! Could you not go a little higher but not back to stock height?
