Lowering Springs

Tuning with lowering springs

Many car manufacturers have to ensure that their production vehicles appeal to as broad a target group as possible. This usually results in suspension setups that primarily allow comfortable and practical driving. In addition to alloy wheels with wide tires, lowering the vehicle is one of the most popular tuning measures. Anyone who desires a sportier appearance can achieve this by retrofitting lowering springs.

What are lowering springs?

Lowering refers to reducing the height of the entire vehicle body by replacing suspension components. In principle, several variants are possible. This variant involves only replacing the suspension springs with shorter and stiffer springs while continuing to use the standard shock absorbers. This conversion involves relatively low costs and therefore represents the entry-level option for lowering a vehicle.

What do lowering springs achieve?

The vehicle’s center of gravity is lowered. Due to the shorter spring travel, the driving behavior becomes firmer. Cornering becomes more direct and the vehicle has better road holding. The handling of the vehicle benefits from this measure. Thus, the sporty appearance also brings advantages for optimized driving performance. The character of the vehicle therefore appears more stylish and dynamic. By continuing to use the standard shock absorbers, sufficient residual comfort is retained.

What advantages do I gain by lowering my vehicle?

In vehicle refinement, lowering with lowering springs has become indispensable. Lowering gives the vehicle a sportier appearance. This way, any production vehicle can be individually enhanced and tailored to the driver’s preferences. Driving dynamics are improved, resulting in firmer and more targeted handling.

What should be considered when purchasing lowering springs?

The selected amount of lowering is important. Is there sufficient clearance for the wheel and tire combination? If you want to lower your car by more than 40 mm, shortened shock absorbers are usually required to ensure that the springs have sufficient preload in the installed state.

Legal regulations should also be observed. Anyone who lowers their vehicle beyond what is permitted risks problems with the TÜV. If the modifications are not approved by certified experts, the vehicle not only loses its operating permit but also its insurance coverage.

Lowering springs are specially designed to handle increased loads and, due to different strength and spring characteristics, allow improved suspension behavior. Only in this way can comfort and safety be ensured.
