Default lowered car.......

what are the consequences of having my car dropped too much? in other words, is it bad to have my car slammed so that the tires are tucked?? what will it affect?

the biggest thing that will **** you off is that your paint will get fucked up from being low to the ground.

especially of you have a front lip. Too many changes in altitude in the road, pot holes, speed bumps, curbs, parking lot thingies!!

being too low is stupid IMO. don't slam your car, you'll regret it, the handling won't change. this is assuming you have coilovers.
