Getting your
Volvo
lowered will have definite impacts on your handling and aerodynamics. However, it will also impact your car’s longevity and service costs.
To get a Volvo lowered, you’ll need to lower the suspension to bring down the body of the car. This allows your vehicle to sit closer to the ground.
By lowering your vehicle, you’ll experience the following benefits:
  • Better aerodynamics
  • Improved handling
  • Lowered risk of a rollover
However, there are also notable downsides, mostly related to the health of your car and the comfort of its ride. These downsides include:
  • Increased chance of bottoming out
  • Uneven tire wear
  • Harsher ride on rough terrain
Whether or not the pros outweigh the cons is totally up to you!
