basically if u get caught with a lowered car most insurers will cancel ur policy. simple. its up 2 you whether you wanna run that risk. i know people with lowered cars who have never got caught and i know people who have. its up 2 you

and yeh a 40 or 60 drop will be fine on 14s but if you go 60 make sure ur 14s are a vauxhall make with an offset of between et45-49 to prevent rubbing

depends how low m8. the general opinion is that 40mm will be okay on standard shocks but anything over that and the car will bounce a lot and wear thru its shocks pretty quickly. if u have the money always get the full suspension set
