what I mean is it is too low for HK driving but if live in UK or US then you can go lower with the looks.
Its just not worth the risk on damaging the car over a little looks and when you come to sell it ppl will know $$ off it.
trust us most of us been driver over 20 years
but in the end it you car and you can do what you like with it.

you just have a cunning grin at the bottom of your heart that F10 is ugly and boring, so you have the excuse to take such quantum leap.

and lower the car right in front of tight corners, then you will be busy like those F1 drivers.

PSS10 with indoor electric height adjustment (I recall Dai Lo Bill mentioned it ), then you can leave it on high end during everyday drive and then you can lower the car when you feel like a nice low cruse over a flat smooth highway...

The roads in HK, at least NT and Kowloon are better than US! How am I damaging the car? The only parts that get damaged are those which are natural wear and tear which every car should go through.

I buy a car and mod it to make it look good and run better... if you are thinking about selling it later, then you would keep it stock.

If people know you drive up TMS regularly or take it to track BUT still standard, then they will have hesitation to buy from you too

well for start if you tires are rubbing the fenders then there will be a chance of hitting it hard over a bump and the side wall will bend and then that will cost you 1000+ to repaint. have seen it done before.

natural wear and tear on all cars is a must but if you put more force on it then it will wear out much faster.

Funny you should say this
My last car the woman know I go to TMS in it and she still buy it because I have all the invoice of the parts that I fix which is alot.
yes I am planning to sell my in 2 to 3 years time that is why no body kit and lower of car this time.
every 1 can drive at TMS, just like IQ he dose MD all the time with the other guys.
