Using lowering springs to give your car better performance

Car stance is everything not only it improves in aesthetics but it also help the cars handling.
Here is a good explanation from Japanese Cars. READ!

Stock vs Lowered. Height will vary depending on spring rate.


One of the best ways to get an unbeatable look for one's car is through lowering springs as it gives the car an amazing look. It not only gives great style and enigma to the car, but also improves the performance of your car. The reason being, Lowering springs tend to give the car a lower center of gravity which improves the handling and steering response of the car. They can also bring the fuel consumption of the car to considerably low levels. However, there are some good to know facts before buying lowering springs for your car.

There are many who suggest heating your springs to make them sag, it is best not to follow any such suggestions as it is going to damage your car and its performance and is ultimately going to cost you a lot of money.

Lowering the car exerts a lot of stress and pressure on the OEM struts and shocks. To ensure good performance of struts and shocks even after lowering your car, it is recommended to buy suspension parts with a record of good performance. If one is running on a tight budget, purchasing separate struts, shocks and springs will give you the desirable ride and height without pricking your pocket much. However, if you are one of those quality conscious people, then it is best to go for quality coilovers like Skunk 2, Mugen, Megan Racing, D2, Tein and JIC. Though these coilovers are costlier, they have more benefits to offer as well.

The most important advantage of using performance shocks and struts is that it has the ability to endure and survive the rigors and thrusts of a lowered ride. The performance shocks and struts also give a comfortable seating arrangement for the driver as well as for the passengers. On the other hand if one is choosing OEM shocks and struts, then one should be prepared for the harsh and raucous rides.

Coilovers are considered to be a good option for lowering the car. The coilovers include struts and shocks, lowering springs and a built in camber adjustment. The purchasing of coilover sleeves will also serve the purpose, however one needs to have performance struts and shocks and a quality camber kit for a decent ride.

Lowering springs give a sleek and modern look to your car and also maintains the quality and stability of the car. One can also avoid the unwanted body roll by using lowering springs of good quality. There is no doubt that lowering springs are the best way to give the looks of your car an edge over the others and to kill the gap between the fender lip and the top of the wheel.
