Considering lowering my car, should i before i get some wheels?
Should i go lows or superlows or something else any suggestion? How much would it cost? just thought it would make it look tougher and it isnt that expensive, what are your thoughts? Cheers dyl. mmmm lets drop it.

Im pretty sure you 'shouldnt' have too many issues with insurance and lowering your car.. Just get lows and not superlows!! ha ha bad driveways + superlows = no mudguards and towbar lol.

Makes sure you get new shocks too when you lower the car. Will stop the car from bottoming out.

lol get the HD towbar with the bar that runs under the fuel tank..... handy fuel tank skidplate!
a friend used to have an XF with the MMM kit, seriously low, and the towbar was what stopped a lot of damage to the rear bar
