Lowering your car sounds simple: better looks, sharper handling, more presence on the road. But what’s the real cost of living with it every day?

In this video, I review a set of Eibach lowering springs fitted to my Mazda MX-5 — and break down the real-world pros and cons of lowering your car.

We all love the idea of a lowered stance and improved cornering feel, but what’s often left out are the trade-offs: harsher ride quality, reduced comfort in town, and the constant paranoia of scraping speed bumps or damaging your underbody.

This video is about the reality of suspension mods. I cover:

Ride quality – What it actually feels like to live with lowered suspension on real roads, not racetracks

Everyday driving – How it performs in towns, on rough surfaces, and in day-to-day traffic

Spirited driving – The upside: sharper response, better balance, and a more connected feel when you want to push

Looks – How much of a visual difference lowering springs and new wheels make

Conclusion – Is it worth it? And who should not lower their car?

If you’re considering lowering your car — especially something lightweight like a Miata or hot hatch — this is the kind of video I wish existed before I made the jump. It’s not all bad. But it’s not all good either.

The bottom line? If you can live with the compromises, it might be one of the most satisfying mods you ever do.

Let me know what you think in the comments. Would you lower your car for the looks and handling alone?
