If you are solely worried about the suspension being compromised, there is risk in regards to reduced compression and rebound from a durability standpoint if one is lowered for quite a few miles (alot).
If you are worried about ride quality- I have not felt or seen any degradation in my adjustments. BMW got the damper setup down here; now my opine is just that but its facts owning the car and not driving it for a week or more as I have other rides, then getting in and driving the same roads and completely forgetting it is dropped.
Now the Verstappen's of the world will chime in as Ive said but in reality you will be just fine. The only reason I can see for not lowering is if you you live in pot hole hell and speed bump purgatory. |
This is great information, I don't rack up a lot of Km's (I'm in Canada) so I should be ok on that front.
We do have crappy roads, speed bumps not really an issue.
I'll do a little more thinking.
