15.4 is low for an 04 TL. I have seen runs of 14.7 stock in some car mag tests.

Lowering the car improves on the launch by decreasing the "nose raise" the front of the car does during acceleration and switching gears.

Take a stock TL and raise it two inches and see what quartermile time it runs... I bet it will be slower than a stock TL height, hence why lowering the car a further two inches helps in quartermile times and launch time. It won't be an huge difference but it would be a slight improvement.

I've been bench racing more then real racing, because Im starting to realize that our cars kinda have a struggle beating other cars when it comes to racing. I mean we got 265 hp and all, but then wiith all that luxury stuff we have, it breaks out even. Im now picky with my fights because I have to represent right for the TL. Someone out there, must have a gutted out, fully raced out tl but we haven't found em yet.. maybe when our cars get older.

Our cars look fucking nice when we are WOT, Maybe thats just the eyes of a TL Enthusiast. Haha
