   whats the deal with lowering a saxo? I've heard it voids your MOT or something because it wont pass it if its been lowered?

   the guy thats fixing my car and my mate.... i asked him if he does lowering but then he said something about it messing the powersteering up or something and if you get it MOT'd it will fail
   
   so i just thought i'd ask people on here because i thought surely that can't be right as pretty much every saxo has been lowered to some degree

   If a car is too low to get on the ramps for an mot, it will fail.

   As long as its all declared its legal. Ferarris and lambos are low as fuck standard. They have no problems. Utter BS. I think you should do your car yourself or they will be telling you to buy an ebay supercharger cos will greatly improve your bhp.

    Ususally if you go low low and keep standard dampers theres more of a chance they will be fooked by the time your MOT comes round (yes i know not everyones are as i said it just increases the chances)
