hi! i hav a 1g dsm (awd) if i lower it will it affect ma performancev or somethin coz i heard in an awd it really affects ur 60'ft any replies will be appreciatble
 
Weight transfer is proportional to the height of the center of mass. Some weight transfer is good for an AWD DSM launch, because the car is front heavy to start with. But too much weight transfer makes the nose too light and you get front-tire spin. The rule is that spreading the weight evenly across all four tires is what will maximize total grip. This is why a front-heavy AWD car benefits from having some weight transfer occur.

A stock-height AWD DSM on good tires transfers too much weight. Lowering the car to get the correct amount of weight transfer adds to total grip and, therefore, lowers your 60' times.
