How much did lowering change your driving experience?

I want to lower because I like the looks, but mainly because I miss being low in a sedan. Did lowering actually make you feel that low or is it mainly for looks? I imagine with a 1” drop, I’ll still feel higher than most cars.

I also hear a rear sway bar is better for cornering, rather than going low.

New long block and more, missing part?

2019 SQ5 60k with new long block, water pump, motor mounts, plugs, more.
Is it missing motor trim?

2019 Big Turbo Tuned SQ5

how's she sound? I picked her up 2 months ago. She's been running 034's Stage 3 93 file.

I did spark plugs & oil change 2 weeks ago. Sent Oil in for analysis & came back clean. I looked at valves via spark plug holes and they all had very minimal carbon buildup & didn't notice any signs of piston scraping.

the loud ticking I'm guessing is coming from the high pressure fuel pump & injectors?

Car sounds like it’s cracking from the inside

I’ve noticed whenever I go over any type of bumps at an angle, the car sounds like someone is crushing a plastic water bottle from all of the pillars. It’s almost as if this car was build so tight, there’s no wiggle room.

I’m coming from a Subaru that honestly made no noises, so I’m just making sure this is “normal.” I’m finding slowly SQ5s makes a lot of abnormal noises that I don’t hear on other cars and are apparently normal.
