Various Ways To Lower Your Car

Lowering your car is absolutely necessary if you want your ride to look great and cool. You’ll get rid of that horrible gap between your tyres and wheel arches and you’ll get better handling. There are various ways to lower your motor but not all of them are recommended.

Cut the springs

The worst way to drop your car is to chop or cut a few coils from your original springs. It might be a very cheap solution but it’s the only way where your car will handle worse than before. So don’t do it. Constructors spend millions doing research on suspension for their models. If you cut away coils from their springs you’ll be driving a dangerous car. It might look cool but for how long?

Shorter sport springs

A better way is to buy shorter sport springs. The manufacturers of those products spend a lot on research when developing these springs for different makes. Generally it means top quality if they have German TüV approval. If you use -30mm or -40mm shorter springs then you can keep your original shocks. I know people who claim to run -60mm springs with their original shocks but really, these shocks aren’t up to that kind of abuse. It could work for a while but they’ll soon wear out as a result and suspension travel will be limited due to the fact that the pistons in the shockers will either reach their travel limit or the suspension will bottom out hitting the bumpstop.
