you can always plumb it back in to recirculate but it's just not necessary on a turbo car using a map sensor. if it's a mass air system though, it should be recirculated to keep all the air accounted for.
Not gonna lie, I actually kind of like some of those crazy Japanese cars haha
Like this xB-- I've seen it in person at Scion shows/meets and I gotta say, while it may be extreme, you can tell a lot of work was put into it, inside and out:

It basically makes turbo sounds through a speaker. You press a button and it emits a blow off noise.

The shocks and/or struts need to be changed only for serious drops. I don't believe shocks need to be replaced with a mild 1 inch drop. Some aftermarket shocks just make the ride stiffer but don't last as long as stock shocks. Some coilovers give out as well.
For slammed cars, yes. I'd use coilovers, sways and camber adjustments if necessary. WHich they probably wouldn't with a good quality set of coils.
FOr slammed cars with springs, definitely change it all.

I disagree. It depends on which springs are used.

The “slammed” look has been the hot ticket for a while now. It’s a simple way to take your otherwise stock car and add a healthy dose of sex appeal and sportiness. Lowering a car puts the center of gravity, well…, lower, allowing the car to handle better and (assuming it’s done properly) experience less body roll through the curves.
