Tea3 Neutral Newbie February 7, 2005 Author Share February 7, 2005 U also want to lower ah? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched February 7, 2005 Share February 7, 2005 Not exactly lowering per se.... but changing the entire suspension. So its either springs + shocks, or a coilover system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmodz Neutral Newbie September 9, 2005 Share September 9, 2005 hey vtim, since getting the 17" i wish to go for the lowered look. My ride's pretty new and a fren suggested i compressed the springs. can get it done at fk. My question is, is compressing the spring a good idea? I wanted to lower abt 2 fingers/1 inch. Heard from some pple that was a dangerous or not such a good idea. But its cheaper. Lowering springs at this pt of time, i don think got suitable one for the latio sport. Btw, do u know of any comfortable lowering springs? Don really want the ride to be that hard. The stock suspension system is already quite firm!

Ahdi Neutral Newbie September 9, 2005 Share September 9, 2005 never compress ur springs la, u put ur own life at risk, and lowering spring i find it not recommended oso wan to lwoer ur car, go for coilover, wif low look adjustable plus hadnling improves oso Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear September 9, 2005 Share September 9, 2005 never compress or cut any springs as that will weaken the rigidity and properties of the spring, in no time the springs will sag and the car will bottom out easily best is to replace with aftermarket performance lowered springs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacer Clutched October 5, 2005 Share October 5, 2005 Hows your ride stock spring? some cars stock spring are already v low and good. take new swift and sirion for etc. its already quite low and performance wise ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arowana1 1st Gear October 6, 2005 Share October 6, 2005 on latio stock, gap between arc and tyre is big. moreover the suspension is pretty stiff... so i figured lowering is slightly will improve the looks and will still be ok if i want to change to softer suspension in the future.

Davidcks 1st Gear October 6, 2005 Share October 6, 2005 bro, coilover is too extreme lah. Somemore quite expensive. Lowering spring is Ok to use, infact I am very happy with mine, the ride is just right for me. Brands like Eibach makes good lowering spring. IMO.

Carmodz Neutral Newbie October 13, 2005 Share October 13, 2005 hmmm..honestly there cheap and good solution ah....lowering car theres only 3 methods i know of lor 1) Compress or cut (HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED) 2) Lowering Springs (not too ex, illegal but definitely lower more than 1/2".) 3) CoilOvers (Expensive, but height & stiffness adjustable) Sorri, i cant realli provide a solution for ya.
