The Dangers of lowering your car Options

[Mike]

Just recently famed BBC tv show Fifth Gear did another series of crash tests, this time with shocking results. They crashed two IDENTICAL cars into each other head on at 40mph (I think), the only differance was that one was 2 inches lower than the other. The results were shocking, the higher car suffered almost no interior damage while the lower one suffered massive damage including the footwell and dash coming further into the cabin. The problem was in the height of the frame rails. Each car has 2 frame rails (hidden of course) in the front end, the lower the frame rails the more likely another car will be able to incur serious damage on your car due to the tendancy of another car to roll over yours and thus penetrating non-renforced maerial (ie hood, windshield), anyway, I would post the link to the episode, I think that might be borderline with respect to site rules, but I thought everyone should know (if you already didn't)
