Default Lowering the car

Could someone please tell me the advantages of lowering your vehicle because I can't really understand why people do it.

Are you serious?

You can dump just about any car and it INSTANTLY looks better. Not to mention better cornering when set up right.

But your ride goes to the shyzen.

Its helps not understeer. if setup propley u can sorta make it more direct.
most cars are designed 2 understeer so it wont snake out control 4 starters.
unless u delibertly try 2 do it

you have to admit though... he did only raise it AFTER fitting superlows and finding it too low.... and the height his car is now is a very nice compromise....

now if only we could convince him that 18's are good things!!!
