I must clarify here, I said SOME mods made the car safer than factory and was not directly talking about 4x4s, sory for the missunderstanding. As on owner of a "hoon Car" I am use to the criticisum about mods to cars however I have spent big bucks on suspension and brake upgrades which in my opinion makes the car 10 times safer than factory, yet as I am a builder not a mechanic, engineer or physist can't give examples with proper backing just my uneducated opinion.
