The suspension of a car plays an important role in driving a vehicle. It acts as a connecting link between the vehicle body and the road surface.
Instructions
Step 1
Low suspension is mainly used in vehicles with a sporty character. They are capable of developing high speeds, which requires increased control of the car on the road, which is facilitated by the low suspension. But often car owners install low suspension on simple cars.
Step 2
There are several possible options for lowering the suspension. One of the more accessible methods is cutting off several turns from a standard spring. This will undoubtedly reduce the vehicle's ground clearance, but such amateur performance will not give the desired result. The handling of the vehicle will remain the same, at best.
Step 3
The second method is the purchase of special short springs (they can be reinforced with a variable coil, or simply lower than the standard ones), which are designed specifically for a specific vehicle model. These springs have the required stiffness and height.
Step 4
The third method is to purchase a special kit, which includes springs, shock absorbers with reduced stroke, special shock absorber bumpers. This method can be considered optimal for achieving the required results. The vehicle will feel much more confident on the road. For best results, wide, low profile rubber can be fitted.
Step 5
It should be noted that when installing a low suspension on a vehicle, the car owner will have to face a number of inconveniences. Any small pothole in the road will be hard on the body of the vehicle, since the lowered suspension is practically free from vertical swing. The cross-country ability of the vehicle will significantly decrease in winter. The wear of the steering mechanisms increases.
