Lowering Kit Information
Lowering Springs
The Chassis of a production car is designed to be built at a minimum cost, and suited for an average driver. Enthusiasts, however, are anything but average. You know what you want from a vehicle. You want immediate response, reduced body roll, increased stability and enhanced cornering ability. You also love the look that comes with the characteristics of a lower, more muscular, more athletic vehicle stance
A set of lowering springs can enhance your vehicles aesthetic appearance by lowering your car or truck by 1 - 4 inches. The handling of the vehicle is greatly increased by lowering the center of gravity, providing a much more stable fun car to drive. A car's suspension is very complex and the manufacturer has gone to considerable effort to balance handling, ride quality and tire wear. If a car or truck is lowered past the optimum point where the suspension geometry will no longer function within the manufacturers desired range, you will have a vehicle that is ill handling and in some cases even dangerous to drive. Install only lowering springs that are tested and do not void the mfg warranty.
DriveWire Sells Only the Best
DriveWire only sells lowering kits that have been thoroughly tested by both the vehicle and spring manufacturer. There are only a few spring manufacturers that meet these requirements, Eibach Springs, H&R Springs, B&G Springs, Intrax Suspension, and Suspension Techniques. The spring kits we sell are designed to work within the manufacturer's desired range of suspension travel and geometry and will in no way void the manufacturer's warranty.
Things to Know Before Lowering a Car or Truck!
Here are some other considerations to take when installing a new set of lowering springs. Remember, when you lower a vehicle the usable range of the suspension has changed. A little preventive maintenance now will save you lots of headaches later.
- If your car or truck has over 60,000 miles, we recommend replacing the shocks or struts. When you lower a vehicle the piston in the shock will now be working much harder and traveling in a different range. This will cause any shock or strut that is marginal to fail within 3-6 months after installing new lowering springs. It is a good idea to use a High Performance shock or strut like Bilstein Shocks, Tokico, Eibach Pro Dampers, Rancho Suspension, and many others.
- Check all the suspension bushings and ball joints for wear. Lowering a vehicle changes the range of travel. You will need to fully inspect the ball joints for wear. If the control arm, sway bar, or upper strut or shock bushings look at all worn, or the vehicle has over 80,000 miles on it, change the ball joints and bushing before adding new springs and shocks.
- The biggest item overlooked when lowering a vehicle is the alignment. Make sure you always have the alignment checked after installing new suspension components like springs, struts or shocks. Many of today's vehicles do not have any way to adjust the camber or caster without adding an alignment kit. Be sure to see if your car's camber is adjustable for the factory. If not you will need to purchase a Camber/Alignment Kit with the lowering kit. DriveWire only sells lowering kits that have been thoroughly tested by both the vehicle and spring manufacturers including, Eibach Springs,
