Well a lot of people make the mistake of lowering a car too low, or not installing stiffer dampers to compensate for the increased spring rate of the lower springs. For a daily driven car like you have. A set of H&R sport springs, or an Eibach pro kit would be a nice option to lower the stance a bit, and still retain ride quality with oem dampers.

And how do you know this? Your towering intellect? DO you have actual data? By all means, show us what ya got, I'd love to hear your fully worked out thoughts on punishment as a deterrence of crime in a society that idolized bandits above anyone else.

That said, the race to ID genes will be on of the most fascinating (and impactful) medical stories to watch this decade.

Sure just let me gather some crime statistics from the 1800's.

Pinker's work calculating historic rates of violence is interesting attempt.

You went +1 in size? What are the actual tire numbers for each size? (Something like 225/55-R17)

The 17s have lower profile tires,
In other words, two 285/35R18 tires from two different manufacturers are pretty much guaranteed to not be the same physical size.

You did go plus one. (larger rim, same tire diameters)
Nominally, those sizes should be interchangeable with no change in ride height or speedometer reading. The 17's do have a shorter sidewall, but the overall diameter of the tires should be within about 0.1 inches.
Car looks great with the new shoes too.

Crime data going back more than a few decades is suspect.

Based on my research, the 1800s were full of marauding bandits and corrupt big-businessmen who would prey on townsfolk and entrepreneurs until this guy showed up and killed them all.

I'm like Clint Eastwood in his prime without the looks, the macho, the athleticism or the charisma.
On the other hand I'm confident I play a meaner guitar than Mr. Eastwood.

All I know is I hate thieves. I want to tear the subhuman trash that stole Lester's bike limb from limb. Also don't forget....

The best was the comment that Kenyans and Ethiopians run fast because they run to school every day.
