Before you start tuning the suspension of your car, you need to keep in mind that it was not developed by some crooks, but by design engineers with higher education, real professionals in their field. And before the car rolls off the assembly line, its prototype is run in test ranges for several years.
It is necessary
- - suspension tuning kit,
- - a set of locksmith tools.
Instructions
Step 1
The fact that the degree of controllability of the car while driving depends on the suspension is not a secret behind seven seals. And after forcing the engine, the turn of tuning the suspension will definitely come, this is due to the increased engine power. Which once again confirms the correctness of the calculations of the automakers.
Step 2
On various forums on the Internet, you can find a lot of advice on how to "correctly" reduce the vehicle's clearance, thereby improving its aerodynamic characteristics. Most experts are inclined to believe that it is enough to cut off the springs on the struts one or two turns and the problem can be considered solved. There are also those who support their reasoning with "verified" calculations. But, as practice shows, not everything is so simple. Self-shortening of the suspension springs solves only one problem: it makes the landing of the car lower, and generates a lot of new problems related to its stability while overcoming obstacles on the road. In addition, the redistribution of loads also reduces the life of the chassis, and the increased energy of impacts in a short period of time disables the hinges of the bearings and ends of the steering rods, and also destroys the wheel bearings.
Step 3
If the owner nevertheless decided to independently change the clearance height of his own car, then it is better to use to achieve this goal by installing certified parts on the car, specially designed for tuning the suspension. This set includes springs and shock absorbers shortened without loss of stiffness, matched to the required parameters, as well as reinforced anti-roll bars.
