    Besides that: Only way I'd like it more is if it were black, super clean.
    Up to a 4% weight difference between the front and back is acceptable. Any more than that and the Haldex unit gets angry...

    Save your money then. Haha, staggered look great on RWD cars, but just look silly on AWD imo (of course, still not as bad as FWD).
