Not for me but it doesn't look as bad as I thought when I read the title!

Whenever I hear "lowered" and "Giovanna wheels" I think:

Looks like the wheels would destroy the wings if you hit a pimple on the road.........
Do you still have fully operational Magneride after doing that to your Dynamic?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Suits the car but would that not invalidate the warranty & have a detremental effect on the handling particularly off road?

I'd have thought with the amount of suspension travel that would catch the inside of the wings, still it looks nice until that happens.

It did not come with manga ride only opinion it didn't have when I bought it and I didn't get it cause I planned todo this. Kw came out with their version of it after I installed these coilovers tho. I don't take it off road it's a city cruiser and I have a truck to go off reading. The warrenty is not fully void and even still I drive it allot warrenty is almost up on it.

As for handling the ride is amazingly smooth and at speeds of 250km/h it is rock steady and smooth handles like a race car. And everyone that see's it in person loves it. However I have new plans for it, looking at getting new rims for it that are 20" 10.5" rims and found a air strut suspension for it so I can adjust the height on the fly and have it so low the wheels will tuck up in the fenders.

Also ordering the Prindiville power package for the extra power and few other mods to come I will keep you posted and always put new pictures of the transformation.

How long is your warranty? Given it is a 2012 car the warranty should run to 2015.

Yeah but I will so mile it out of the warrenty I drive it allot. Have 60 000 Km's on it so far. It's not a toy or a show ride I drive it and enjoy it. Smile but it's soon going to get allot more mods done to it. Especially when warrenty runs out.

I'm actually like it, if I was sure that I was only going to drive it on roads, I'd think about going something much the same.

With you on the driving, partsman34, car is made for driving and I love driving mine although I do try and keep the mileage down by using my ZXR for work, when the weather allows it!
