No.

That is all.

Have I done it, yes. This has been the first and only time so far I've modified a car. But I did a lot of researching first before taking the plunge.

Why; partly looks, partly to improve the handling.

Am I happy with the outcome; yes. It suits ME not you.

Would I do it again: maybe; depends on the car, my circumstances. I'd do my research , make my decision, live with the consequences.

I modify many things in MY life: the house, the garden, computers, operating systems, home theatre, bikes. I am an individual. If you don't like what I do, tough. I'm not forcing you to do the same, nor would I expect vice versa.

Thank heavens for those that do like to tinker, modify and play with their life. I can't think of how it would be otherwise. Booorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring.

The day I start worrying about a few inches gap between car body and wheel, will likely be when I have a mid life crisis and use just for men.

Although there's no denying on certain cars it looks slick yet I've just installed a new front suspension using oem specs and my 98 s70 runs like a dream so people can talk about science yet I've been in lowered sport cars, such as Supras, Audis and they run like **** over regular roads.

Ride quality is a personal preference, as is styling, that's why these sectors make big profits yet for the most part I'll rather listen to the car manufacturers on what offers the best ride quality for the car they produced.

lowering a car is not something I would consider these days, with all the pot holes and speed restricting humps and bumps installed on the roads I think its more likely my XC70 will need even more ground clearance.
Mind you have had some laughs watching the local boy racers trying to get on or off the estate in their lowered cars now that all roads have numerous speed humps installed.
