yeah 350 whp would be just fine, but with my car payment that wont happen anytime soon. the suspension he wants me to put on is koni adjustables with probably some eibach pro kits. i know on other cars this combination is awesome. so i washed my car today and took it down the road i hit 135 on a semi windy back road but had to slow down because the car in front of me was coming up a little to fast. then i tested out my brakes 120 to zero feels really good. this car impresses me everytime i take it out.

But for hard driving on twisty roads or tracks you have to be careful not to lower it too much and install a suspension upgrade that you can adjust the corner weighting, rebound, etc...
You have to ask the question first... How do I want to drive this car ? On the road back and forth from work, or hauling *** on the track ?
The great part about suspension upgrades is that you can beat the hell out of another car that has 50+ more HP on twisty roads, but you'll get your *** handed to you on a straightaway...
I like road courses and twisty roads... You can turn your Crossfire into "Super Glue" if you spend a few bucks, but you'll pay the price of ride comfort on the drive to work...
Your brother is right about doing suspension upgrades, not necessarily lowering per se, but most AM suspension set-ups will lower the car a bit...
See what kind of price your brother can get for the suspension set-up I mentioned in the previous post, then see if you want to spend that kind of money, or it's worth it to you for the type of driving you do...
Trust me, I would love 350hp in this little thing, but I don't want to spend that kind of money... Now it will stick with the best of them in the turns, but the second we hit a straight, I'm in the dust...
