VIP mostly does nothing for handling.. its cambered so it can sit lower
VIP isnt for speed or agility or whatever.. its just to boss out

THREE TWO SIX POWER!

The G50 starting at 5:24 is super dope check out the front wheel to fender shots during the drift, and the pictured Octo-Caliper Aristo first starts at 8:10..
