Is it true?
If you lower your car, it tends to have an effect on the tyre "life"?

I'd say not, I haven't noticed any difference, or even heard this mentioned before...

Just be sure to get it tracked up after you have lowered it.

Re: Is it true?
Having done it to various cars the only issues I've had are potholes hurting more, I do try to avoid them...lol
And ramps in car parks, and steep drives that type I thing, causes the front to catch... The meganes not too bad for it but the alfa I had was terrible.. Got stuck coming out of a carpark once, it was mega low tho.
Think your cc would look mint lowered!

I was thinking 30mm lower but am nervous as I enjoy comfy driving.

You'll be fine with a 30 mil drop. So long as you buy high quality springs you will barely notice a difference in ride quality. I had Eibach Pro-Kit which were very good.

Funny enough that is exactly the brand I was looking at. What a small world
