I'm considering getting my car lowered. I'm not dead set on getting it done yet. With money being tight etc but if I was to get it lowered how low would you's recommend

Ask these questions

1 - how much will it bump your insurance up
2 - What is the area around you like
3 - what are the area's you regulary drive to like

Like me personally - i live in a speed bump area :mad:
So i run at standard height - so the bumps aint a problem to the chav infront who's so low he cant get over without ripping his sump out

I live in speed bump areas with a lot of potholes...had my punto lowered 50mm I thought it was fine...I drove me astra for 6 months then when I got back into punto felt like it was rock solid lol...I guess im saying not too bad when u get use to it :)
 
Ask your insurance first FFS!

lowering is a modification - if you have a crash - you could forwell find out the insurance will refuse to payout - leaving you in a bigger mess

Also
Dont forget the car will need re-tracking, so good condition track rod ends are also essential - or replace them

As lowering the car will affect the suspension and steering geometry its vital to not only give you your grip back but to prevent your tyres scrubbing to death

I think there was somebody who was so low he had excessive neg camber and balded insides of tyres very quickly

the best thing to do is little mods here and there, i've removed the side trim off mine, and next plan is to possibly install spot lights on the car due to the roads i drive on late at night, and the lights will be.....................HID's
 
Lucky for me my insurance company are fine with them, declared them when I had them on the mk1 punto

at least with them I could of seen a bloody huge hare that I killed the other night, also ended up cracking the bumper
