BTW, what brand is your car? Year?

Lowered car tend to ride rougher than stock.

Do you intend change to larger rim/tire diameter?

It looks better and corners faster but with our roads and driveways here, you could end up going slower than others because of ground clearance issues.  I've seen punctured oil pans, gas tanks and damaged exhaust systems due to too much lowering.

For handling, I'd recommend adding thicker sway bars and Bilstein shocks as well as better tires.  For local roads, you need to keep the stock ground clearance.


There is no dishonor in losing the race. There is
