In recent days, videos of Fiat Fiorinos with the rear suspension extremely raised and the front almost touching the ground have gone viral on social media.
This aesthetic modification, known as “arched suspension,” originated among truck drivers and is now being adopted on smaller vehicles like vans and utility vehicles in Brazil.
Although eye-catching, the practice seriously compromises drivability, stability, and safety, and is also illegal according to the regulations of the National Traffic Council.
The style is promoted by groups who advocate this type of customization on their social networks. However, modifying the suspension without prior authorization, inspection, and registration constitutes a very serious infraction, with penalties such as fines, points on the license, and vehicle impoundment.
Experts warn that arching the suspension provides no technical benefit and only increases risks on the road.
