Should I get my Buick Encore lowered?
I was thinking about getting my Buick Encore lowered. It seems like it rides relatively low already, though. Is it even possible to drop it more?

Yes—lowering your
Buick Encore
can improve handling, aerodynamics, and even fuel efficiency. Aftermarket lowering mods are quite popular these days—and it’s easy to see why— it’s very visually appealing.However, you should be aware that the principles that allow these improvements largely depend on velocity. In other words, does lowering your
Buick
improve its handling and performance? Yes, it does! But, will those improvements be dramatic enough for your to notice them? Probably not. These modifications were initially designed for race cars and don’t apply to everyday driving.
Still, there’s no reason not to get your Buick lowered simply because you like how it looks.
If you do get it lowered, be aware that you may end up with some increased
car insurance
rates. Many insurance providers do not want to insure a vehicle with dramatic suspension modifications. Getting started takes just 45 seconds, and Jerry customers save on average $800+ per year on car insurance!
