Can I get my Dodge Caliber lowered myself?

I love how it feels to ride in a car that’s low to the ground—so much that I’m tempted to do it to my own car. Can I get my Dodge Caliber lowered myself?

You could! There are plenty of lowering kits on the market that would be compatible with a Dodge Caliber. Whether you should lower your
Dodge Caliber
yourself depends on your level of comfort with the task—otherwise, you could have a mechanic or body shop take care of it for you.
Before going ahead with having your Dodge Caliber lowered, you’ll want to have a sense of how you want to go about doing it, how much it will cost, and what kind of effect it could have on your vehicle to decide whether it’s worth it for you.
As you weigh those options, here are some pros and cons to consider that could come with having your Dodge Caliber lowered:
Pros of getting a Dodge Caliber lowered:
  • Can improve handling
  • Can cause faster accelerating and braking
  • Could improve aesthetic appeal, depending on your preferences
  • Could improve aerodynamics
  • Lower rollover risk
Cons of getting a Dodge Caliber lowered:
  • Risk of bottoming out
  • Less ground clearance
  • Rough terrain could damage undercarriage
  • Could lead to faster or uneven tire wear
