I saw an Innova with a "lowered" profile. No skirting but the whole car has
been lowered. Looks, solid.

Question to sifu out there.

What needed to be done?
Where? How much?
Any safety or performance risk?
Any disadvantages at all?

By the way, the one spotted was black.

Yup, saw 1 today. Quite nice. Anyone lowered their innova?

Any feed back?

Lowering the Toyota Innova is own personal choice and fancy for self
satisfaction. For the lowered vehicle suspension, will caused the front
alignment geomentary to be unsafe when loaded vehicle is maneuvering any
bent road. Further more, the rear drum brakes control by the LSPV will
activate and caused the vehicle to wag tail when brake is applied while
the vehicle is not loaded during driving at 100km/h and above. Anyway it
may look nice when vehicle is at stationery position and also can be a
murderer when used on the highways.
Dare to be difference??? and let's twist,,,,how low can you go.

Every car is almost the same, you lowered it, got more handling but lost
comfort. Remember, if you want comfort, then don't lower your car.

May i know how if the stock absorbers too soft? Is it we can lower it and
match with the soft absorbers and become a bit hard?

To some people, look is everything. Safety, handling, comfort...what's that?

To satisfy these people, a lot of workshops thought they are all smarter
then Toyota's engineers.

Tourist, NICE speech!

I agree, let`s say you buy a normal saloon or family car, fully stock is
the most comfort. Also depends on driver`s taste...what kind of car he want.

A car manufacturer will build a comfort saloon family car, of course they
use soft and suitable absorber suspension for that model of car.

Seriously I`m a bit regret that I have changed my Vios stock rim from 15`
to 17`. 17` use low profile tyre, which is 40. Now my car become bumpy
ride, more sound. But then...more handling I got, better cornering...and
one more, beauty.

Car using 17'road rim with 40 series tires are like sitting in a
speaker's box listening to the road rumbles.
40 series tires has less redial action during cornering on a light weight
passenger car and for distance ratio you get less and limbo more.
Dare to be difference ??? let limbo rock,, how low can you go...

Not forgetting your original factory setting of alighment specification
will not be accurate anymore once you have lowered your ride.

Hope that helps. Cheers.
