To me lowering is purely an aesthetic exercise and cars that have been lowered do look stunning if done properly. Unfortunately I live in an area where my current standard set up seems to be catching the road and driveways to often so lowering by 20 mm is just going to make it 10 x worse, so for now, purely on practical grounds I'm leaving my car std except for the spacers which hopefully will be delivered today.
Aha Nick the great British road network is at fault ,that does make more sense now. yes theres no denying a lower car will catch the plastic under trim more regularly dependant on just how bad the roads are in your neck of the woods. but in all honesty the three plastic trim lips under the car that are usually what scrapes are only a few quid each to replace and that only when they get really tatty . its rarely your actual bumper or even the plastic undertray thats scraping 99% of the time its the three plastic flaps under the front :thumb: :thumb:
Indeed, it is, and lowering is not just style over substance as it does make a dramatic difference to the car if correctly applied.
I fully understand its a problem once lowered, as it will put you on edge with what you are going to ground out with. An Aero kit splitter is even worse and its a costly item to replace.
I think the looks and handling well out way the cost, So I'm in !! but you do need to factor this in......
