Lowering of car

[Guest Andlee]

Hi All,

Judging from the picture, can anyone advise if my car can be lowered further by 1 inch front and back using lowering springs? Will it rub the fenders? I am concern on the front. I currently on stock springs. Thanks for any advise.

Hi Prado,

May I know if you just use lowering springs, or coilovers? If springs, what brand you use? Thnaks..

[Guest Prado]

Using Blistein coilovers with lowering spring for R171 . Its comes with a 9 points adjustment where you can adjust the softness / hardness yourself .

Hi Prado,

Thanks.

Just lowered mine as well for my 18" inch DPE rims. I recommend you to go for eibach spring.

Hi Black Mama..

Were ur height the same as mine before u lower? I am also going to use Eibach springs...

Currently, base on my medium size fingers, not fat or thin, its 2 fingers in front and 3 fingers behind...

[Guest JS_79]

From what i see, the height was around the same like yours before i lowered my car. For me, I went down by an inch for the front and back.

[Guest Mike]

think the camber is affected right?

[Guest JS_79]

From what i know...it may affect the chamber..so far it does not affect my handling.

[Guest Mike]

increased -ve camber help greatly in cornering but the down side is that it accel tire wear. =)
