Question lowered car specific maintenance

Does lowered car require special mechanical attention? Which components should I pay special attention to? I would imagine suspension, but is there particular coponent?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

I would pay closer attention to your front lower balljoints, and upper control arm bushings... other than being more aware of these components, then no, there isnt anything special you have to do...

Drive carefully A friend of mine once driven over a speed bump when he first started lowering his car. The oil pan didn't look too good
