Is Lowering a Car Legal?
1 Answers
Lowering a car is considered an illegal modification. While a lowered car can be driven on the road, it will not pass the annual inspection unless it is restored to its original condition, as lowering alters the vehicle's original appearance. Additionally, lowering a car is purely for aesthetics and lacks practicality. Below is an introduction to car modifications: 1. Precautions for car modifications: The state has strict regulations on vehicle modifications. Aspects such as the car's body color and interior can be legally modified. However, modifications to the braking system, powertrain, and suspension system, which affect the vehicle's safety, are prohibited and may result in fines. In cases of severe accidents causing irreparable damage, it is necessary to report and undergo re-inspection by the vehicle management office. 2. Legal restrictions on car modifications: According to laws and regulations, the car's model, engine model, and chassis number cannot be modified, and the body structure must not be altered. Replacing the engine, body, or chassis requires submitting a qualified motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate, and the area of car decals must not exceed 30% of the total body area.
