would you install lowering springs in your SUV

[mgbrillo]

tanong ko lang if its a good idea to install lowering springs in your SUV just for looks? my SUV has a 16" rims (stock) and im wondering how it would look if i lower it a bit and then change rims and tires as: 19" with 55 tires.

would this void the warranty for the car?

I wouldn't do it, it defeats the purpose of buying an SUV.

but on the other hand... 99% of the time most SUVs will never see a dirt trail. The most offroading it would ever do would be a unpaved parking lot somewhere in the city.

depende sa SUV.. ano ba auto mo?

[kimpOy]

nevah!!!

[aann]

change rims/wheels pero not lower it...

[gearspeed]

change rims/wheels lang din ako kung may money ako..

i'll never put one. it defeats the purpose of getting an SUV (we got one primarily so that we wouldn't worry much about floodwaters, another is the bad road that we have leading in and out of our place).

as per US law the dealer who denies your warranty claim has to prove that your modification directly caused the defect or failure for the warranty to be voided. that means that they might have a case if your stock shock absorbers fail or your alignment gets messed up, but not if your engine fails or your radio stops working.

this law is discussed in detail on the SEMA website if you're interested in reading up on it.

as for whether it makes sense, i guess you wouldn't be able to take the truck offroad anymore. but if that doesn't matter to you then go for it kung yun ang trip mo. some SUV's (particularly the big american ones) look damn good when they're lowered...but i draw the line at chrome spinners :hihihi:

para sa hindi maka-decide, just go with the adjustable air suspension

Why would you do that? Sorry, but when i think about it, it's like having a pitbull but as tall as a hush puppy Ok, maybe that's a bit exaggerated. But, no i wouldn't...it defeats the usual purpose of having an SUV, at least over here in the Philippines.
By the way, have you seen this lifted Jaguar XJR(?), the owner may have somewhat similar dilemma before he went ahead and modified it:

Pero kanya-kanyang trip naman yan, so post a pic if you do install...

[bougartt]

somebody actually did this to their jag??

nah... defeats the purpose of an SUV in the first place.

a slammed SUV still isn't as pretty as a slammed sedan. looks a bit awkward.

and yes, here in the Philippines - that would definitely f*ck up your warranty.

i dont mind, really depends on the owner siguro yes kung dalawa suv ko. . one for off roading and the soft roader of the two be dropped. .

[AC]

no for me.. but if mayaman ako.. why not po..hehe astig yun.. but kulang po 19s.. pag lowered.. dapat po.. 22 at least to 24.. maybe even 26s

but if daily driven.. and 19 lang po ikakabit.. beter not nalang po

makapal parin po yung goma ng suv sa 19s eh
