Are you not the owner of one? SUVwho would like it like that Audi A6 Allroad or from a thoroughbred pickup like that Dodge Ram so in the topic of modifications usually one Lowering stand high on the wish list. But how deep can a car actually be? What is the German road traffic registration order? And what are the conditions that need to be applied? We have the most important tips for lowering!

However, the missing minimum height is defined by a determination of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO).
