I'd be more worried about the insurance claim implications. A few years back, a guy in Toronto lowered his brand new Honda Civic. He hit a severe pothole on the highway, causing him to lose control, spin out, and crash. The insurance company denied his claim on two accounts: One that he did not advise his insurance company of the modification (you should always tell your insurance company of all modifications if you expect coverage in case of an accident), and two was that they felt that, had he left the car stock, it may have been able to handle such a severe pothole without causing loss of control. Poor fellow was left making payments on a wreck.
In our culture obsessed with absurd excess, the Nissan Micra is my counterculture car of choice.
