Lowering Springs
Lowering springs are shorter, often stiffer springs that reduce ride height.
What is Lowering Springs?
They lower the centre of gravity. They may need matching shock absorbers. They often need approval. In many countries modified suspension must be approved or registered, and insurance companies may need to be informed. Lowering springs combined with original shock absorbers can shorten damper life because the dampers work in a different range. Headlight aim should be checked after lowering.
How it works
Shorter springs compress less space and lower the body.
Why it matters for your car
They reduce suspension travel and ground clearance. Alignment must be checked afterwards.
