Front springs can be adjusted by disconnecting the lower link from the upper pivot point and increasing tension with a two-post garage jack under the control arm. rear springs can also be lowered by disconnecting and lowering each spring and shaft to whatever level desired and then reattaching them.
car suspensions are engineered to maintain a specific ride height, so don't expect it to last for more than a few months at most without some repair work on worn components like ball joints, bearings, etc. but it may feel better in snow (depending on axle ratio) or when driving over obstacles like speed bumps.
what is the cheapest way to lower a car?
some cheap ways to lower your car are to purchase a racing street coilover kit, or lowering springs. these don't “lower” the ride height, but rather provide the ability to adjust it quickly using static height adjustments. race inspired cars are popular in motorsports for enhanced handling which translates well when driving on normal streets. racing suspension kits also come at a discounted price because they're developed for specific purposes–meaning they often have features that help keep weight down and functionality reliable for race conditions only. compressed gas struts are another option which is cheaper than air struts but less functional in terms of adjustable height settings due to being heavier in order to withstand constant vibration within low profile vehicles or when compressed by forces during loading/
is it bad to lower your car?
it is bad to lower your car if you are looking for optimal performance.
lowered cars usually suffer from poor suspension and inability to utilize shocks properly, as well as misalignment of wheels, which can lead to issues such as decreased tire life and eventually uneven wear on the inside edges of the tires. the steering might feel heavier because there is more weight pressing down on it – which will make it harder for any driver to turn sharply. if you want a durable vehicle without these problems, we recommend finding a used honda civic or toyota corolla imported from japan (also called jdm). those vehicles typically do not have lowered suspensions and still provide optimum balance, handling ability and performance.

how much can i lower my car?
the height of a car or truck is known as the suspension. the total height of a vehicle includes side skirts which can be changed for those who want to manage their stance, do some modifications to the body and as such settle their desired outcomes. the common types of suspensions are lowering (anti-roll) and lifting (lift). suspensions include many aspects like the quality and type of shocks, springs, stabilisers among other things.
ride height refers to the distance from the ground up to where your tire meets at full extension and determines how level you will drive on any surface (flat or otherwise). for drivers who may encounter different surfaces that include inclined roads or highways this would determine whether they can fully depress their brakes
is it worth it to lower your car?
a lot of people are curious about lowering their cars because they want “the aggressive look”. the only problem with this is that it lowers the car's stability, traction, and therefore safety. to be more specific, it can affect steering response (makes you feel like your tires slipping), increases braking distance, make the suspension weaker (which will result in skipping over bumps), it can reduce handling stability especially when driving on wet surfaces like water or ice. so best not do any customizing if you're looking for safety. it would be better to simply buy a new car that already has the design you're looking for if what you want is something flashy.
