Default SVR Advice

Hi all,
I've been window shopping SVRs for over a year now and I feel it's time to pull the trigger. There are a few on the market. One I think is a TX flood victim... others I don't care for color. One I'm slightly interested in has lowering springs. Curious about opinions about lowering springs with the adaptive suspension.

Thank you!!
Brandon

My only issues with lowering springs is when leave my court, I have to be careful to not scrape the front at stock height.

Yeah, I get the interest in lowering, but if one is dragging all over the place that would take some of the interest/enjoyment out of it for me. Depending on where you live it’s just now practical.

A friend of mine has a really nice low sitting front carbon fiber splitter on his Aston Martin but he scrapes like crazy everywhere he goes. That would get old for me fast.

There is no way around it, you want the look, you pay the premium (scrapping or damaging).

Stock height is usually fine around town.

Mildly dropped requires more caution and attention.

I’m dropped on h&r(about 30mm?) driving in nyc, there are places where i absolutely cannot traverse, and then there are places where i know it’s gonna scrap, but not damage anything structurally.
