Suspension
Factory springs and struts were designed for comfort, not performance and after a few years of service they might be starting to sag. If you are looking to lower your vehicle, tighten your suspension or improve your car's handling then you may opt for an adjustable lowering kit.
Aftermarket lowering springs lower your car's suspension by half an inch to two inches, improving the stiffness of your ride and creating a lower center of gravity for greater handling stability. Lowering springs are a good low-cost choice for daily drivers who are looking for a lower look and a better ride than stock.
If you attend car shows or the track then you might want to look into adjustable lowering kits. Besides even more lowering - as much as 10 full centimeters lower than stock - adjustable lowering kits can make your suspension stiffer than lowering springs can. You adjust your suspension using a special set of spanners supplied with your coilover set. Adjustable lowering kits are for casual racers who need to stiffen their vehicles for a launch, or for people who want to lower it to the ground at a car show while still getting a great daily ride.
The craftsmanship and overall quality of the dozens of coilovers on the market varies with price. A more expensive lowering kit is going to be higher quality than a much cheaper kit, And even more expensive are kits that feature fully adjustable ride height and shock dampening. Spec-wise, the biggest difference is going to be in the spring rate - the better kits will be much stiffer. A good adjustable lowering kit benefits from a lot of research and testing rigidity, bound, rebound, and other factors.
We recommend our lowering kits are professionally installed. Lowering kits, like all suspension components, work under tremendous compression and an incorrect installation could damage your car or cause very serious injury.
