To increase the ground clearance (ground clearance), you must use any of the following methods.
• Using an inter-turn spacer, you can increase the ground clearance. This is due to the fact that the spring is compressed less. As a result, the compression travel of the shock absorber is reduced. The shock absorber does minimal work and the spring is largely uncompressed. As a result, the suspension stiffness increases and the comfort decreases.
• Spring that is artisanal or does not match the vehicle of this model. In the event that the spring does not comply with the standard, for example, it is very strong, then the shock absorber stroke on rebound either stops altogether or decreases. As a result, you can get an uncomfortable ride. Ultimately, the motorist will get a quick exit from the shock absorber.
• Polyurethane spacers help to increase ground clearance. They are installed between the vehicle body and the strut support. The polyurethane and reinforcing metal bushing have different densities. And this difference can lead to the fact that during operation on uneven roads, the polyurethane shrinks. In turn, the bushings begin to deform the car body.
• The increase in ground clearance is facilitated by aluminum spacers that are installed between the car body and the strut support. They have a fairly high strength and do not lead to a loss of ride comfort. In addition, there is no deformation of the body part here. In the engine compartment, they look like a foreign part. And on roads with a sand-salt mixture, they can provoke corrosive processes.
• Plastic spacers contribute to the increase in ground clearance. They are installed between the car body and the strut support. The manufacture of such spacers is carried out from ABC-plastic, which is widely used in the automotive industry. They are highly durable. They are invisible in the engine compartment. They do not contribute to a decrease in ride comfort, do not oxidize or deform the car body. Plastic spacers do not provoke corrosive processes.
• The rubber spacers will help to increase the ground clearance. They are installed on the spring instead of the standard ones. For manufacturing, high quality rubber is used, which is able to support the weight of the car. These spacers do not reduce ride comfort and corrosive processes are not provoked. When using them, there is no deformation of the body.
