Wider A-arms, wider axle, ft tires-american racing and hoosier are popular, sway bar, shocks.

Some people get shorter swingers to for traction.

Shocks can have you perform better than engine mods.

You can sit as low as you want, but the lower you sit the less that you can play ride. If you sit lower you can haul around the turns faster, but width will help more.

If you got a 250r you really wouldn't have to lower it. Mine sits good, I'd just widen it.
