What's the point? I see a lot of cars modified lowered by installing adjustable suspension system with low profile tyres.
And they are mostly NORMAL sedan cars like Vios, City, All Plotong, Camry, Accord, etc.

Unless you're driving a ferrari, Lambo, and the likes, you don't need to because their original design is like that.


Sometimes I really doh.gif whenever I see the mentality of these people.

lower the car will lower the center of gravity as well, so it is a bit more stable on high speed.

lower ride normally will have a stiffer suspension, plus with low profile tires which is probably hard sidewall, it will reduce the body roll when doing heavy corner.

If that's the case why Car Engineers design sport car as such and normal sedan car as such?
Don't you know the difference?

normal sedan car is aim for people at all age range, which is for comfort, but there are some people who dont like the car too comfort and cause too much body roll during heavy cornering with the soft suspension setup, that's why they will install after market parts to suit their driving style.

i know you are going to say "why dont they just go and buy a sport car?"

the price gap for sport car and sedan car are way too huge, and sport car maintenance are generally higher than normal sedan car, even the fuel consumption also higher, many sport car doesn't have 4 doors, which is not good for carry stuff and carry human inside, while a modded sedan still can fit in 4 person with no problem.

And my question to you is, why would you want to do heavy cornering on a busy road like town center?

Sports cars such as skylines or imprezas are also lowered or have their suspensions changed. Why? To further IMPROVE the stability and handling on it. Remember, not everyone likes to drive straight, a lot of enthusiasts likes cornering.

sumtimes lowering the car helps, it depends whether the owner did for driving purposes or styling purposes..
a lowered car can provide a lower center of gravity to the car which in turn making the car more stable.. just like amduser pointed out
doesn't mean do heavy cornering only wat, it improves the overall stability of the car.

No that's not what I call an answer. Are you trying to emulate retardation by pretending to be one?

lowered ride and modded suspension not only benefit for cornering, but straight road as well.

i live in KL, and there are some place which is not jam and sometimes not busy, some car (like vios) has a very very bad body roll during cornering even at not very high speed.

and also there are some people who bring their car for a run in sepang with their car club or whatever.

If you drive properly any car is stable enough, your point is not valid.

Not everyone loves to drive below 60. People who drive above 60 and take corners can feel body roll. They lower their rides to counter this! Some opt for it for its aesthetic looks.

I think you don't get my idea. A normal sedan car when lowered doesn't look good or cool, it's still a sedan car no matter how hard you try. rolleyes.gif

You got to accept the fact. Not everyone can own a sports car. They have to mod a sedan car, to look and perform like a sports car.
