Yeah it does, you'll find yourself on the loud pedal a lot more testing out the suspension!

Installing coilovers shouldn't affect the fuel consumption unless you are doing what was said above. Also how much has it affected your fuel consumption?

another question is... what ELSE did you do apart from the coilovers.

as everyone said - check the correct setting of your coilover - you probably dropped it too low and try to do hard angles with lots of reving also alignment and is your camber correct?

Your tripping out. :) get a wheel alignment either way, but lowering won't affect consumption.

Yes, this seriously effects fuel consumption, and tyre wear.

Definitely get a proper wheel allignment done if you haven't already. Do you know how much toe and camber you are running?
