Yes, u can raise your car, if u can be very careful wen speeding; either by changing the tyres to a higher one, or rising the spring. In my personal opinion buying higher tyres is better, there costly. Wen u raise your car it violate the technicality behind the weight of the car and amount of air permissible to enter under the car during high speed. The size of the tyre that comes with the car is perfect for the weight of the car by not allowing plenty air to enter under the car in high speed. Therefore, making it easy to maneuver wen driving so, wen u raise it the car will become very light in higher speed, therefore, swinging anyhow except wen u are load With time u will get used to it and take a very good caution wen driving. Raising it is a better option in our own country, if not for anything, those people wey dey target bumps and stay there, so as to collect money from u. Ur car will clamp the bumps with ease and u will be able to zoomoff, and that will save u some stress and money Wish u a goodluck 2 Likes |

fineboynl: I did it on my sister's 04 Camry and the car is stable, no more hitting speed bumps. They just cut the shock absorbers and welded a little pipe to alit to increase the height. |
Re: Is Lifting A Car Up Good Because Of Bad Road by OpulentP: 8:23pm On Jul 07, 2023 |
PeaceNation: [color=#006600][/color] U dnt have to change the rim, changing the rim and tyre will be costly, just get a bigger tyre, u don't have to disturb urself, go with the car to tyre dealer tell him u need a bigger tyre. U will just place the one u want to buy beside the one in ur car, u will notice a little height increase in the tyre. So, by the time u replace all the 4, u will realize the car is higher than it was. My car is Matrix and the rim is that follow come Toyota rim, and I used Tokunbo tyre that time, about 2 years now, no issue. 2 Likes |

fineboynl: You mean to say raising the car? Not a good idea as it'll affect everything about the car,speed, stability and balance...... |

After cracking my sump and subsequently transmission lines, nobody told me before I lifted mine. Also switched to 205/60/16. Fuel consumption increased slightly because of the bigger tyres but, it's a compromise I can live with |

seniorgozman: So you prefer patching your exhaust frequently abi? |

fineboynl: I'm sure this is why it's advisable buying a Nigerian used car, buy in the north. Roads are mostly bad in the south - maybe due to excessive rainfall. |

Lifting your car will reduce the efficiency in terms of balancing and stability, especially on highways where you might likely speed up. It's tempting to life your car as a Nigerian, but, don't fall into such temptation The stress and risk that comes after isn't worth it Don't forget, safety first, safety always 2 Likes |

Read your (toyota) car Manuel it is there. it's not a bad idea if you lift your shock absorbers 1 inches higher. |
Re: Is Lifting A Car Up Good Because Of Bad Road by Jazzman01: 12:05pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
Alex80s: Some people dont know why Engineers make these cars close to the ground. They put centre of gravity into consideration when designing in order to aid balance. I dont support raising any car because the ground clearance has been calculated based on the car's width and height. |

I don't compromise my safety. I drive my car the way they manufactured it. I checked into my owner's manual, it was never recommended that I should lift it no matter the situation. Thank you |
