Well I do not see the point of lowering a car so that you damage it as soon as you see a speedbump.

Guess I am getting older / wiser now and am happy with mine at standard height.

Fair point... The lowered stance is so much better though.!  :wink:

Think that it all depends on situation,like the journey and even the mood ......

coilovers.....why arnt they easier and faster to adjust??

I mean,tech has come on,but still isnt design for quick easy height adjust? (within budget anyway)

Anyhow weather changing/changed,everybody in there right mind wil be goin up ....and putting winters on!

I see most people are saying "tyres just tuck" the question is what's too low.  :grin:

Never to low with air.
And once I get my new daily, mine will be low! Vr6 splitter 30mm off the road  :grin:
