Bit harsh lol.

I don't know why people deck their cars.

In order to encourage oversteer you want to lower the front and raise the rear. Better handling then :D

Haha lowering has its benefits, I've got coil overs so my car is like a little go kart in cornering and stuff.

Lowering the rear causes understeer. Struggle to see how thats a benefit in an already understeer prone car (front wheel drive).

Lowering the front causes oversteer (benefit :) )

Lowering the car all round makes you look like a bad man. Not sure where to class that lol

Lowering the car is horrible. Especially if its stupidly low. Watching boyracers drive over speed bumps with low cars is cringe worthy. And when they go over the middle of mini-roundabouts hahah.

Yeah my mates cars lowered and we crawl over speedy bumps in it! But he's also got a problem with speed bumps but don't worry he's slowly getting over them ; )

I've never known a spring to snap unless it was ridiculously corroded, dangerous if it happened at high speeds

A stupidly low car is not fun, I couldn't even get over any speed bumps so had to do 3 point turns in the road all the time. Smashed 2 catalytic converters and scrapped the sump on a daily basis. I use to think this was awesome driving, but seen the light now.






Try and claim it back off the council

I've got a modified gearbox mount that sits way off the bottom of the car and its only 80mm all round so I can still drive normally. my exhaust is standard so that doesn't scrape, albeit a side exit. Is diesel so I just got coil overs and wheels for abit of stance. It's at 129bhp now after a remap.. Good old diesels

It's the CDTI engine, 1.7 diesel turbo. New intercooler, and another remap should see 135. :D
