yeah true ... but if you don't wish to lower a vehicle .... when you can to do aid in handling is stiffen up the springs and shocks.

I have a Territory ... it's stock ... and it outhandles many a lowered vehicle. Another guy in the Territory forum increased his ride height with stiffer springs ... and it handles better than standard ... albeit with a higher centre of gravity.

Lowering isn't the be-all and end-all of handling performance ... my next mod on the Territory to increase handling performance is changing the shocks in it to better gas items ... but not lowering it.
