Why should I get my Suzuki SX4 lowered?
I’m looking for better traction and road feel in my 2011 Suzuki SX4. Will lowering my car help me accomplish this?

Lowering your
Suzuki SX4
by an inch or so will give you an overall stiffer ride—which may be a good or bad thing, depending on what you like. Generally speaking, lowering your vehicle brings it closer to the ground, and can improve your car’s road feel along with other benefits like:
- Improved handling and cornering
- Improved tire traction
- Improved aerodynamics
- Reduced leaning when you corner and decrease your risk of roll-over
However, if you enjoy a cushier ride, you may find a lowered ride uncomfortable—in an SX4, you’ll feel harsher vibrations and more of the road surface when it’s lowered. There are also extra costs and issues associated with lowering your car—such as a higher risk of bottoming out, and potentially voiding your warranty—so it’s important to make an informed decision.
Making an informed decision is also important when it comes to
