   hello, has anybody lowered there car by only 25mm? I have a vtr and was wondering what the handling and looks were like with such a small drop. I dont want anything drastic so 25mm seams good. But is it just a waste of time? I also have to transport my baby around hence not wanting 40mm - 60mm lol. Any pictures would be good.
   
   cheers chris

   i dont think you would even notice a drop only one inch. 35mm is best for handling apparently and you can see a slight difference but i dont think 25 will feel much different to standard

   its not just how much you lower it.. dampers and springs are equally important.
   
   35mm is best for handling and looks imo

   Thats what i wanted to hear really, as the cars bumpy as hell anyway and didnt really want it so that it was uncomfortable for the baby, i think ill go with 35mm then. Ill just get the springs for now and then some better shocks when economic times are better.
