Lowering Springs

If you’ve been leaning towards replacing your lowering springs, this page dives into everything you need to know. 

What’s the difference between aftermarket lowerings and OEM springs? 

Firstly, lowering springs are shorter in length than OEM alternatives, rendering your vehicle closer to the ground. The trade-off here is that spring rates are measured in pounds per inch, so shorter ones must have a higher rate to compensate yet can support the same weight of vehicles. 

Things to consider before lowering your car

Like any vehicle modification, there are things you must consider before taking the leap. If you're looking to retain comfort, it's crucial to combine high-quality shocks and struts with your springs. Meanwhile, a solid set of coilovers can be just as valuable. 

Thanks to market diversity, there are plenty of options and brands to choose from. But because of this abundance, it's often hard to find the ideal choice for your needs. At Pro Speed Racing, we stock only the most reputable options on the market, giving you peace of mind that you've selected the best possible product for your vehicle. 

From names in the industry like H&R and Eibach to all the brands you trust most – we have something to suit everyone. 

What are the benefits of lowered springs?

Ranging from improved stability to better handling and decreased body roll for sharp corners, there's plenty to love about these parts. But if you're still on the fence, here are some more reasons to make the investment: 

• Stiffer ride: You will need rigid springs to the front or back of your vehicles that can withstand bumps and depressions. These parts achieve that, resulting in a better driving experience.
• Less lean during corners: Enjoy considerable reduction in the lean of a vehicle around a sharp turn. The weight of the car shifts less due to the lower centre of gravity, providing a more comfortable ride overall.
• Better handling: Another aspect of being closer to the ground is higher stability, responsiveness, and control over This is because lowering is directly linked to stiffer springs, meaning less weight transfer when the gas or brake is hit hard. You can enjoy quicker acceleration and stops as a result.
• Less rollover risk: With a lower centre of gravity, lowered vehicles have a decreased rollover risk when cornering.
• Appealing aesthetics: If you’re looking for a performance-focused look, a lowered vehicle gives off all the right impressions.
