Generally speaking, coilovers are there to actually improve the handling characteristics of your car. If you're even remotely considering doing any kind of sanctioned racing, coilovers all day. But, if you don't care about how many hundredths of a second you can shave from lap times by fine tuning height, preload, etc. and just want to get rid of some wheel gap for purely aesthetic purposes, buy a nice set of name brand lowering springs. Quality springs won't drastically compromise your car's handling capabilities, and should be perfectly fine for daily use. It's a difficult thing for some people in the automotive community to wrap their minds around, but not everyone wants to build racecars. Some people just want a good looking car that sits a little closer to the ground.

Do lowering spring cause premature wear of shocks and tires?

@cozymonk

5 жыл бұрын

Latin Ace Yes, they certainly can and will, depending on a few factors. For some suspension types, the lowering springs can change the camber and, without an alignment, that extra camber means extra wear on your tires. Factory struts are built/tuned for the stock ride height. Lowering that ride height means the struts are a little more compressed than usual in all conditions which will cause premature wear. But it’s nothing major and, as long as you’re not going crazy low, you probably won’t notice too much difference in the rate things wear out.

Malonezzki majority of coilovers have a linear spring rate so they’re usually over-sprung for crappy roads unless you go into the higher-end with adjustable rebound and compression. Springs usually have a progressive spring rate so they’re much more forgiving on your back.

Lowering springs are pretty common in performance applications. Coilovers are very adjustable and offer great benefits. However, an inexpensive set of coilovers will not perform as well as a high end set of lowering springs paired with a good set of high performance struts/dampers. Not to mention, a brand new set of high end lowering springs with struts will usually cost the same or less as a low/mid tier set of coilovers. If your goal is not to simply slam your car, lowering springs are worth a good look.

Shoot that’s a good point I’m starting to realize my struts are set up for ~250 spring rate and the lowering springs would be 400. I can imagine this would leave a poor dampness control and ruin my shocks. Thanks for the tip.

Been running lowering springs for over half a year and it's been amazing.. I don't see why people hate it.. still rides just as well as it did on stock and the shocks are fine... So yeah. Lowering springs my dude

installed lowering springs from eibach on my first impreza- never had any issues, regardless of what others said, I was perfectly happy with ride height, stiffness and general performance in combination with stock dampers. Went the coilovers route on my second impreza - sure, it was BC coilovers, and I did cheap out there(in coilovers life) but all the benefits everyone talks about were gone - set them up once, and then forgot about them, but kept bottoming them out all the time and ride was way too harsh. Now my GT86 I went springs again - the dampers are really good and lowering springs allowed me to drop the height and stiffen the ride a bit, while keeping most money in my wallet - sure its not as good of a ride as friends of mine who spent nearly 2k on coils and setup, but it is the way TRD intended it to be, so I am happy there as well

Lowering springs are perfectly fine for a daily as long as the drop isn't 2" or more. If you're going to use OEM shocks, then plan on replacing them every 2-3 years

I think the desired use of the car is a big piece too. I run a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs with some Koni Orange shocks on my 8th gen Si daily driver. It's great to be able to have the car look great and maintain a comfortable ride for a good price and since it's a daily, adjustability isn't a concern.

Just like he said, i love the way my Jaguar F-Type feels and handles. Springs are perfect for a nice classy drop while retaining all technology the factory suspension has

I live in Canada and lowering springs make sense for people who winter drive their car. It lets you lower your car without worrying about anything seizing from the salt and grime. Yes you can just clean coilovers but try doing that in -30 degrees.

@FitmentIndustries

Very true 😂

I chose lowering springs because of price, and it's a great balance of performance and aesthetic increase, without making the ride suffer much more than stock. But get quality ones. (H&R or Eibach ect.) I run H&R super sports on my e30. Love them. I never scrape or rub, but I have a finger width or less between tire and fender 👌

Coilovers are just wrong. I have spent 2500, 1700, 1300, 1k, 800, and 600...even 400 once. They all ride too stiff and dip too hard, bounce on expansion joints, make the car lean and jump, etc. Ohlins, KW, BC, D2, Megan, CX, or off brand ebay...they all ride very similar. On a track they may be ok with a calculated spring rate and adjusted damping. On the road it's just annoying and makes driving harder than it needs to be. I am going from ohlins to a lowering spring on kyb gas adjust. Unless you live where the roads are perfect and level beware. A koni, bilstein, or even stock shock/strut with a mild lowering spring is your best bet for a daily especially. I say save your money for a different car that is only for track and Sunday driving.

Watch a video about comprehension dampening and rebound and spring preload.

We run lowering springs for legal reasons down here in New Zealand, because we need to get our cars certified for certain mods (adjustable suspension, spacers, turbos, engine swaps etc) and once the car is certified , we're locked into that setup otherwise we need to get it re-certified. Want wider wheels? Re-cert. Want to add a turbo? Re-cert. Want to put your factory wheels back on when you sell it, but keep your coil-overs on for the new owner? That's a re-cert. You get the picture. Avoiding the certification processes by swapping in direct fit lowering springs allows us to drive and modify our cars as we please legally. Changing what we want when we want within the confines of the law.

Im rocking h&r race and bilsteins sports on my e30. And its what they use for Spec E30 and Pro3. It does quite well. And the ride isnt harsh due to progressive springs. I do plan on upgrading to FA 500s

i have a 2017 Civic Type R. The only reason i went with lowering springs is because the OEM is really good, and lowering springs just helps me achieve the slightly lower look i want. I thought about going for Coilovers but for me to be happy about my purchase i would like to spend some more money on some coilovers and get top of line stuff, something like KW which are MUCH MORE expensive than simple spoon sports lowering springs. and i wouldn't really be using the KW coilovers to their full potential since its a daily driver.

My 05 EP Civic been running lowering springs 45mm front 35mm rear. Nice look, nose down ass up. Harder springs, and stock dampers. Run great on track and daily really recommend them rather than running cheap coilovers

Some cars just don't have aftermarket coilovers. For example I'm a classic Saab guy and drives around in a somewhat modified 900 -83. There are no coilovers for these unless you decide to modify it's double wishbone/live rear axle suspension to accept coilovers from another car entirely. However there's tons of options when it comes to lowering springs and shocks. Currently I'm using a set of Lesjöfors springs along with a set of adjustable AVO shocks, which works quite well.

I went from coilovers to springs on my civic for a couple of reasons. 1. The setup I had for my car was the same drop a lowering spring gave, but was stiffer. I figured I can sell the coils for more than what I can buy springs for, and the car will just be way more comforable. 2. It is also way cheaper and easier. Less of a headache.

You need struts/shocks that valved properly for a lowering spring, as well as ones that have a shorter shaft so you you don't ride on the bumpstops, overall still cheaper/more comfortable than coilovers.

Great comment, I feel like people should reference this when deciding coils vs lowering springs!

I remember being a broke teen back in the late 90's and cutting a piece of the coil off.... ride quality -1000. also remember those autozone kits it was like a small clamp that installed on the spring to compress it, lowering your car... even worse ride quality.

Lowing spring are fine. I just install some eibach springs on my 2006 Jeep grand cherokee 5.7L hemi with kyb shocks riding on 22's. Handles much better, ride smooth, and less body-roll.

Kyb agx and eibach pro line on eg8 sedan rides great.

Alex: "I'm not good at magic" Yes you are, somehow you can not say 'at the end of the day'

Funny thing is that most people who install coilovers don't even know how to adjust them properly. They set ride height and leave them alone which is exactly what a lowering spring does. Coilovers are for setting ride height based on corner balancing and allowing changes to compression and rebound settings on the fly depending on road or track conditions. If people want a set it and forget it setup that is already tested to work, lowering springs are the absolute best option. **as long as they're a good brand, not eBay junk**

I have a 17 BRZ that’s equipped with the performance pack which includes Sachs shocks....so yeah why would I get rid of perfect struts and amazing shocks? I love my TRD lowering springs. I’m gonna wear tf outta my ‘stock’ setup before I fully replace it.

Running eibachs or tein lowering springs. If they are compatible with your stock struts you have absolutely nothing to worry about. My car looks great and I've got lots of compliments. "On coils?"

I love my setup on my 07 Eclipse Race Car. I am running KYB Shocks, H&R Springs, Eibach front and rear sway bars and bushings and a Whiteline chassis brace. Also have Megan front and rear strut bars too. All my buddies want me to swap out to coilovers but I keep telling them no. I love my setup and it works, honestly the ride comfort is better than coilovers, my opinon. I not saying my car is fast by any means but I have done a few events and I plan on doing more.

I use springs instead of bags or coilovers for two main reasons. 1. I'm broke. Dropped my car in my driveway on good shocks/struts and firmer drag springs for less than cheap coilovers. 2. I don't like speed bumps hitting my car and if I have the ability to drop my car low enough to hit them i don't trust myself not to

For some people lowering springs are the only option. For example, I have a 1993 Audi urS4. Finding coilovers is extremely hard. When you do, they're extremely expensive, so the only reasonable option would be to get adjustable shocks and lowering springs. Thus springs are just fine and do what they're supposed to, lowering the car and making it look good.

Went with H&R Sport Springs and Koni Yellow Shocks ($900) as an alternative to the bc racing br coils that are available for my car ($1200). Feels great and will last the lifetime of the car, bc racing lasts 40-60k.

Just got Eibach Lowering springs today lol. Also gonna be getting bilstein b8’s later on, which i think is better than getting lower end coilovers.

They're solely used to achieve a look. On many cars you can run them with little to no compromise outside of reduced ground clearance. However, it's important to do your research on your particular car. Some of the newer Subarus and Mazdas don't have heaps of bump travel to start with and rely more on the bump stops to keep the car from bottoming. Going 1" lower can make what was a stable car into a car that will regularly get upset by bigger bumps and dips in the freeway.

Thanks for the info Linus!

Cool video 👍😎 keep going 200k is near. I wish you got 2M really soon

My diesel tech teacher who is a master mechanic runs H&R lowering springs on his Evo, I think he’d know if it’s ok or not

I had tein lowering springs for 2-3 years. It made it lower and ride good. Pros: cheap, ride good Cons: not low enough

I feel like I have heard that quite a few times!

My 2000 gt has cut 2004 cobra front springs and cut rear gt springs with maximum motorsport rear adjustable lower control arms and j&m uppers, caster camber plate's and kyb adjustable shocks and rides awesome..a lil rough at sometimes but it's better than 2k dollar coilovers.

I got swift springs on my IPL 🤷🏻‍♂️. Still love it and I’m at 35k miles but I wouldn’t mind coilovers either, even if they’re for poor people

Lol the poor people reference.

What kind of lowering springs would you recommend for a 2008 Lexus IS250 rwd?

'Cuz dey CHEAP! The springs, not the people. Well... maybe sometimes the people are too.

Thank you very much!! 🤘

I still keep my H&R lowering springs with B8 Bilstein when l have to service my coil overs.

I have adaptive dampening on my Audi and I went with the Eibach pro kit. Good thing i didn't go with a more aggressive lower or my ride quality would be terrible. I pretty much keep my car on comfort mode. Stiff on corners, but comfortable ride. Putting it on sport or dynamic and it just gets too stiff and even minor cracks on the road becomes too jarring. It does lower my car a little, so there is that for fitment and looks.

This is what I want to do with my Car, as I prefer the electronic control but I just want it a pinch lower. I think I'll give it a shot after hearing that... Worst case scenario is I'm out around$300 putting it back to stock. Thx

Saved myself 800 dollars by using eibach lowering springs and I’m not disappointed at all. Ride quality is still excellent with a nice lowered look

On my rally car i run bilstein shocks with custom springs. Wanted a stiffer progressive spring but maintain stock height. Alternative would be custom $5k coilovers. My touge car runs fortune auto 510. My roadster runs kw v3.

I ran them and just bought coilovers can’t wait till the switch

Dude, liked and subbed just because of the Midwestern accent lol. Shit actouly made me laugh out loud. I can attest to the lowering spring topic of the video. My 23 Civic Si shares the same dampening as the Type R. Im going to get lowering springs instead of a full system because of that. Brand research is where im currently at.

I love the adaptive suspension on my Bmw, but I wanted more low, you bet your ass I got some nice ass dinan springs to keep my adaptive suspension

I think a big topic you missed in your video is that you cant buy coilovers for certain cars. The grand am is a great example. At one point in time they were made but not any more. Now there is only one grand am in the world that has coilovers on it(and it's in wisconsin) I'm actually running canuck 2 inch drop lowering springs on my grand am rn. Ride is slightly stiffer but still a comfortable ride and the body roll is pretty much gone!

Very good piece on lowering springs! I'd like to see, by asking a Question, what are the lowest springs available that would fit a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport???(

Eibach was one. D2 Racing???...is another.???

I lowered the car and I don't touch the ride height. I adjust the dampening a lot more, so adjustable shocks was necessary. H&R springs with Koni yellows are on my z3 and it's great. Perfect for what I want.

Running RCE yellow springs and yes they lower your car nicely, but the OEM shocks don’t support them well so it feels like it’s bottoming out when ever you hit potholes.

I have a ‘19 MX-5. I don’t have any performance mods yet. I want marginally better street handling and do not plan to use it on the track. I’m concerned with coilovers because of ride stiffness and price. Would a combo of lowering springs and maybe better shocks give better handling at a lower price with equivalent ride comfort? Any recommendations on what to buy? Thanks.
